THE AI ANGLE
Rendering unbuilt historical architectural proposals

A project by Gendo uses generative AI tools to visualize historical architectural designs that were never built. The images place archival drawings into realistic settings while categorizing the work by its level of historical evidence. This gives practitioners and students faster ways to inspect past concepts and produce complex architectural images.
