About Synthetic Vernacular using Artificial Intelligence 2.0

“Synthetic Vernacular using AI 2.0: Algorithms to Adobe” is a transformative workshop blending generative AI with architectural design. Accessible and practical, it explores the integration of parametric design, vernacular typologies, and natural building materials. The synergy of tradition and innovation is emphasized, empowering participants to envision real-world structures like institutional buildings, malls and homes. The workshop guides designers in utilizing tools such as Stability AI’s Stable Cascade and Midjourney image generator among others, fostering hands-on proficiency. Participate in reshaping the architectural horizon as we explore uncharted possibilities, transforming the future of design.

What you will learn
  • 01

    Generative AI Techniques: Use Midjourney and Stable Cascade to create images with natural materials.

  • 02

    Post-Processing Skills: Enhance images using Krea.AI and Photoshop for better quality.

  • 03

    Depth Animation: Create engaging videos with LeiaPix that showcase depth.

  • 04

    Vernacular Architecture: Learn about vernacular typologies and how to replicate them with AI.

  • 05

    AI Workflow Development: Build effective workflows integrating various AI tools for design.

Methodology
The design style we will use in this studio will primarily relate to arid regions, emphasizing natural building materials such as adobe or stone. Participants can expect to learn about vernacular architectural typologies, their aesthetic finishes, and how they can be replicated with the help of AI text-to-image tools. We will use the Midjourney image generator from an intermediary level and Stability AI’s Stable Cascade, LeiaPix depth animation tool, Krea.ai image upscaler, and Photoshop’s Generative Fill tool.

  • The workshop covers an intermediary workflow for AI-enabled tools. Students can expect to learn how to:
  • Use Midjourney & Stable Cascade’s text-to-image tools to generate consistent results incorporating natural building materials such as adobe or stone.
  • Use KreaAI and Photoshop to upscale, post-process, and refine results.
  • Use LeiaPix to create captivating videos with depth maps.

Aikin Karr is a pseudonym used by AbdulAlim U-K, a UK-based 24-year-old Nigerian architectural designer and entrepreneur; his name pays homage to his ethnic heritage as he redefines Sudano-Sahelian architectural design aesthetics and principles in tandem with cutting-edge technology. With a unique focus on the evolution of vernacular architecture, he leverages artificial intelligence to explore contemporary and futuristic forms of traditional architecture that are culturally and environmentally bound to the Sahel region. AbdulAlim coins Regional Tectonics in this design process, which he uses to create captivating urban layouts, facades, and industrial designs for a global audience. In addition, AbdulAlim studied architecture and environmental design at the University of Westminster in London, has 2+ years’ experience working in a design-build firm in Nigeria, co-founded an award-winning startup with the aim of alleviating urban crime supported by the National Space Research & Development Agency of Nigeria, and is currently studying towards a master’s degree in computer science at Cardiff University in Wales with a focus in artificial intelligence. It’s the role in the built environment and in the enterprise.

I just finished Synthetic Vernacular using Artificial Intelligence 2.0, and it was a seriously cool journey mixing AI and traditional‑style architecture. The workshop shows you how to use tools like Midjourney and Stable Cascade to dream up designs inspired by vernacular building styles — adobe, stone, earthy materials — then polish those ideas with image post‑processing and even depth‑animation/visualisation.  It felt creative and experimental, with a nice balance between heritage‑based aesthetics and tech‑driven imagination. For anyone curious about blending AI with architecture rooted in cultural or natural materials, this course is a fun, inspiring experiment.
