In her academic role, Martine’s research on AI-generative images and the impact of them on architecture and photography has been published in The International Journal of the Image. It is titled: Architecture and The Built Environment Seen Through the Eye of the Lens and AI – Does it Matter Which?

The paper, informed by insights from Neuroscience Architect Clarissa Machado (Venice) and Damon Leverett, Arizona-based architect and academic whose work using Midjourney illustrates much of the article, is timely. Both architecture and photography as professions are questioning and embracing the new tech in equal measure and Martine wanted to discover how text-to-image software programmes were able – or indeed, unable– to mimic known built environments.

The journal is open-access, meaning that anyone may read the outcomes of her research and cite it within their own research. Martine would be interested to learn of others’ views on the subject – feel free to drop her a line via the contact page.
