Archi Guesser - An AI Art Architecture Educational Game

Abstract:

Diversity is part of our architectural history. Architectural styles developed in all cultures across the globe and represent historical values, local materials, and community structures. With generative AI art we can both teach as well as break up these traditional cultural boundaries and remix them to enable new ways to think about these styles. We use a combination of multiple AI Art technologies for the game. We use Chat GPT to select famous styles for various cultural areas, identify famous architects and summarize style characteristics. We then use this to generate sample images of the styles in Midjourney, or poems for the styles with Chat GPT, and present them to the user. The player guesses the style, geographic location, epoch, and landmark by placing 3D printed objects on a map. We use OpenCV to track these objects, creating an interactive and tactile learning experience. This approach allows players to explore a wide range of architectural styles, some of which they may not have heard of before. We hope to encourage players to recognize these styles as stepping stones in global architectural history, rather than just local trends within their cultural bubbles, all while enjoying a novel type of learning game.
