'Artificial intelligence could give rise to a "neoclassical futurist"
architecture style and will become "an everyday tool of necessity", says
designer Tim Fu in this interview for our AItopia series.

Architectural designer Fu, who works extensively in artificial intelligence
(AI), showed his project The AI Stone Carver – a collaboration with stone mason
Till Apfel – at the Borders Venice Architectural Art Fair earlier this year.

The project saw Fu generate a series of column capitals using AI image
generator Midjourney that were then hand-carved in stone by Apfel. It is an
example of how AI can combine different concepts, according to Fu, who thinks
this is AI's main strength.

"AI's best ability is to fuse things," Fu told Dezeen. "So if you take two
distinct concepts that are very recognisable and you fuse them, that hybridism
would give you this very successful and unique result that is also novel."'
