At the forefront of blending artificial intelligence with architectural creativity, Ebrar Eke is redefining how design and technology can intersect. Her unique approach challenges traditional methods, opening new possibilities for the future of architecture. As both a designer and researcher, she explores the untapped potential of generative systems not merely as tools, but as active agents in the design process. Eke’s work represents a shift toward more adaptive, speculative, and narrative-driven models of architectural thinking, where imagination and machine intelligence evolve together. Combining academic research with hands-on architectural practice, Ebrar Eke stands out as a leading voice in the emerging field of AI-driven design.

About Ebrar Eke: Insights Into AI Architecture.

Ebrar Eke is a Turkish architectural designer and design researcher, based in Vienna, Austria. With a notable international presence, her work explores the intersection of architectural design and artificial intelligence tools. She earned her Master of Architecture with distinction from the Greg Lynn Studio at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (die Angewandte), her interests vary between Generative Design, Digital Design, and Computational Design.

Ebrar works today as a Design Architect & an AI LAB Expert at Delugan Meissl Associated Architects (DMAA), the renowned architectural firm celebrated for its iconic project “Eye Filmmuseum Netherlands”, a landmark of contemporary architecture and design.

At DMAA, Ebrar contributed to the high-rise project “Triton Tower Bratislava, Slovakia”, as she also holds a significant role in implementing generative AI workflows into the architectural design processes, concluding conceptually rich architectural forms, and pushing the boundaries of traditional design methodologies. 

Gained professional experience across Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Turkey. Her contributions to architectural projects have also been spotlighted in multiple Dezeen features, such as the “Play&Connect” project that focuses on the culinary experiences of Ringstrasse in Vienna.

In addition to her professional practice, Ebrar has contributed to the architectural education sphere as a teaching assistant at the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) in Barcelona. She is an active voice in the AI-architecture and design discourses through significant publications, exhibitions, and international teaching roles.

Her written and visual work has been featured in prominent architectural platforms. She shared her visionary AI-driven architectural work in the article “Daydreaming with Artificial Intelligence” in Parametric Architecture (PA), exploring speculative design narratives through text-to-image workflow methodologies.

As a professional educator, Ebrar is part of the global instructor network at PAACADEMY, and conducted an advanced workshop about AI design workflows for architecture named “AI-Driven Architectural Design”, which students heavily appraised.

She is now set to lead another upcoming PAACADEMY workshop titled “AI-Driven Architectural Design 2.0”, which focuses on showcasing how generative AI tools can be effortlessly incorporated into architectural design, with lots of technical details about AI models and platforms, such as using Midjourney, ComfyUI, ChatGPT, and more tools to be involved within the process. Check it out!.

Her sessions empower designers worldwide with emerging AI technologies, blending conceptual exploration with technical skills, to be able to optimize such generative AI models and platforms effectively in architectural design processes.

Ebrar Eke: AI-Driven Innovation in Architectural Design

Ebrar’s Thesis project with Studio Greg Lynn, “Text-to-Architecture”, dives into an extensive application of generative AI tools for architectural design purposes, testing different architectural configurations, material qualities, and 3D model making with the extensive use of different generative AI tools.

Rather than conducting an end-to-end architectural design output, this thesis project is more about investigating how AI can be used as a creative collaborator and a critical assistant within the design process. 

Upon Ebrar’s significant MArch completion with distinction, she showcased her “Text-to-Architecture” AI architecture to the architectural association “Mimarlar Derneği 1927” through an in-depth presentation titled “Metinden Mimarlığa”.

Ebrar founded “AI.Architecture Studio”, through which she highly intersects AI with architecture in a “daydreaming” conceptual approach, using AI tools and workflows to translate abstract ideas into architectural expressions, emphasizing speculative architecture, form explorations, material and tectonic iterations, and narrative-driven spatial concepts.

Eke’s work reflects a growing shift in the field of architecture, where emerging technologies are not simply adopted but critically examined and creatively reimagined. Her projects, research, and teaching collectively contribute to a future-facing architectural discourse that sees artificial intelligence not as an endpoint, but as a starting point for new design possibilities.
