what if starchitects designed vehicles, as well as buildings?
Some of the most famous architects in the world have left a lasting impression on our built environments, with significant impacts to our cities and architectural history that will be remembered for generations to come. Redefining their visions, Moss and Fog imagines: what would happen if our most revered starchitects designed vehicles, as well as buildings? Using Midjourney, the design team conjures up surreal, somewhat futuristic AI-generated cars as though designed by the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, Santiago Calatrava, and Zaha Hadid, rendering fascinating fictional results that encapsulate their distinct signature styles and the original eras they belong to.

ai-generated cars respond to architectural masterpieces
Through the lenses and drawing boards of big names such as Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Antoni Gaudi, and more, the design team at Moss and Fog uses Midjourney as a tool for creative exploration to explore the ‘what if?’ The AI-generated car series imagines the automotive counterparts of the architects’ infamous structures, embodying their trademark aesthetics and feels.
Alluding to the monumental signature angles of Zaha Hadid, a futuristic car takes shape from a series of modular steel panels configured in abstracted layers. Meanwhile, a sleek, modernist, and high-tech hybrid encapsulates the qualities of Norman Foster’s structural works and sits parked against a lavish stately home backdrop.
