Oh. From the title I was hoping this was a serious AI model that tried to design a building.

It's just someone plugging "futuristic towers" into an AI image generator, which predictably produces images that look like common sci-fi depictions of "futuristic towers" from fantasy art and video games that the model was trained on.


That towers remind me Fresco's hydroponic farms.


just looks like futuristic solar punk. but tbf, I would like to see more of this incorporation of nature into architecture as part of the foundation and less of a purely aesthetic addition like almost every single western skyscraper.


Reminds me a bit of Jacque Fresco's work, of The Venus Project. Nice!


Tl;dr someone put “futuristic skyscrapers” into Midjourney
