The explorations generated by Hassan Ragab AI in architecture
The calculation designer and digital artist Hassan Ragab explores non -modular architecture using text in the image artificial intelligence tool Media. The captivating structures reveal colossal facades carved with complex patterns and scanning openings. For this series, the buildings are dressed in organic forms that resemble lush vegetation as a new form of ornamentation. The result sees the conjunction of constructed solutions and surrealism, expanding the limits of physical and architectural imagination.
According to the Egyptian artist, the future of architecture is questioned in the hands of AI tools, which, through the passage of the years, they all become more powerful. ‘These tools are still in their infancy, but they develop at a much faster rate than we can understand. We are already witnessing some of these tools incorporated into Adobe products, others extending to video manufacturing and some research items paving the way for text models to 3D models. There are also news on the AI clouds automating electric models in BIM (modeling of building information). I believe that in the coming years, these tools will slowly take larger parts in the architectural process, extending to assess viable manufacturer options and will find optimal structural solutions, project management techniques and appropriate construction methods . Until then, it will be very difficult to predict what it means to be an architect. For the moment, I hope that technology will allow humanity to offer new, better and more sensible ideas where and how we live, but I could be wrong, ‘ Ragab shares with designboom.

A perfect example of parametric architecture
THE Egyptian interdisciplinary designer and artist generates digital art, using Midjourney as the main design tool for its fictitious architectural series. Hassan Ragab reconstructs the virtual modules of primitive architecture in dynamic and abstract arrangements. The result is an excellent example of parametric architecture, which widens our imagination and questions physical constraints. The images represent imposing volumes engraved in a complex way with “vegetation” and glazing, connecting the monumental scale to artistic expressionism. According to RAGAB, the AI program is an intriguing exploration tool, which requires detailed entries to cause creative results. Although it seems to involve less creativity, in fact, it forces the human brain to be more imaginative with the use of prompts.
“Only very few architects are able to express their own visions in real life. This is mainly due to its high cost and its complexity, which has led many architects to be involved in many different aspects of the discipline Far from the design. In modern times and despite what we see around us some fascinating engineering works, to face architecture as a visual language has become a luxury that only star architects can afford. The current Image text generators have accessible to current are purely artistic mediums, which puts enormous limits in their use in design, but these generators are trained in the creation of new images using billions of existing people; These tools open a huge portal for architects (especially young and busy) to visualize their concepts very quickly and in a creative way, in order to reinvest the essential questions on architectural inspirations and what forms the visual identities of our cities ”. The artist says to Designboom.
