Generating Daylight-driven Architectural Design via Diffusion Models (2404.13353v1)

Abstract: In recent years, the rapid development of large-scale models has made new possibilities for interdisciplinary fields such as architecture. In this paper, we present a novel daylight-driven AI-aided architectural design method. Firstly, we formulate a method for generating massing models, producing architectural massing models using random parameters quickly. Subsequently, we integrate a daylight-driven facade design strategy, accurately determining window layouts and applying them to the massing models. Finally, we seamlessly combine a large-scale LLM with a text-to-image model, enhancing the efficiency of generating visual architectural design renderings. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach supports architects' creative inspirations and pioneers novel avenues for architectural design development.
