Generative aI in Art, design, and urban landscapes
I initiated and led teaching a Stable Diffusion curriculum in bridging generative AI into spatial design as a medium to explore form generation and design representation. Through four-day lecture series and hands-on workshops, students were introduced to LLM, GAN and computer vision theories, LoRA training, ControlNET, AnimateDiff, and ComfyUI. I also invited guest speakers to share practical insight, such as the cutting-edge application of generative workflows in design industries.
Students were encouraged to explore the creative role of AI, engaging and augmenting their knowledge and expertise in architecture and urbanism. This experience enabled all of us to expand the creative spatial possibilities of AI tools with a critical reflection on their limitations and challenges.
