ArchiGuesser - Teaching Architecture Styles using Generative AI

Generative AIs are opening new possibilities to create content from text, speech, and images based on simple input prompts. Users use this to improve their productivity when summarizing knowledge, templating communication, and inspiring their creativity. But, can it also be used to teach, e.g. about our architectural history? With this demo we are exploring this question. We created an educational game that combines various AI technologies from large language models and image generation to computer vision, in order to serve a single purpose: Teach users about architecture in an entertaining way. We wanted to enable students to explore and learn the diversity of our architectural history in a playful and exploratory way and at the same time experience and understand what current AI technologies can achieve.
