As architects are now being tasked with the obstacle (or opportunity) of building in a more environmentally sustainable fashion, there is an ever-growing need to incorporate natural materials into built proposals. This project will use the powerful imagination of Midjourney to provide a series of images where artificial intelligence attempts to emulate nature, additionally offering inspiring approaches where architecture and nature coincide.
In an attempt to compose a utopia somewhat relative to the conditions of our planet, it is imperative to investigate the variety of elevations relative to earth. With the continuation of building taller, this project explores an unlimited atmosphere and visualizes the spatial qualities for living a mile high. These images pique a curiosity for nature’s place in a utopia amongst the clouds. “A Mile High” explores the visuals for how humanity can operate on a land high above ground. This utopia focuses on a reimagination of multiple aspects of living, including sustainability and nature’s potential interaction with education, community, healthcare, and residential architecture.
