Design · TalTech — Academy of Architecture and Urban Studies · 2024
What should the surface car park in front of TalTech’s main entrance become? On 23 May 2024, architecture-academy staff worked a compact keyword-to-prompt-to-inpainting pipeline on ten pre-shot site photographs, settling keywords by vote — urban square, greenery, natural materials, reduced parking — and producing eight prompted scenarios and around 30 captioned images, framed explicitly as diagrammatic discussion-starters rather than designs.
Who took part
University representatives working in groups, with yes/no keyword votes steering the brief.
What the tool did
Keyword voting, prompting and inpainting on the campus’s own forecourt, library and car park; when the AI hallucinated a reflecting pool from the group’s own “no” list, the group kept it on the table as discussion-worthy — the clearest evidence of AI literacy gained.
