The future often feels distant, a concept discussed in reports and conferences. But for coastal and riverside cities around the world, the future is arriving faster than we think. The whispers of climate change are now a clear and present reality, echoed by stark warnings from the world’s leading scientific bodies. The challenge of rising sea levels is no longer an abstract threat; it is the defining architectural and social challenge of the 21st century.
Today, we’re taking a speculative journey to Nantes, France—a city defined by its relationship with the majestic Loire River. What happens when that relationship is irrevocably altered? What happens when the water rises for good?

The Hybrid Workflow: A Critical Analysis of Parametric Seeding and AI-Driven Architectural Conceptualization using Beegraphy and Nano Banana
Introduction: The New Synthesis in Architectural Visualization
The contemporary practice of architectural design is witnessing a profound shift, marked by the convergence of two powerful yet philosophically distinct technological paradigms: the deterministic precision of computational design and the probabilistic creativity of generative artificial intelligence. This synthesis is forging a new « hybrid workflow » that redefines the process of architectural conceptualization. This workflow leverages the strengths of both domains, demonstrating a novel trajectory that begins with a single, data-rich parametric « seed » and evolves it into a fully articulated architectural space through conversational, AI-driven exploration.

ComfyUI Architectural Tutorial: Photorealistic Rendering with the Gemini 2.0 Flash Model
In the world of architectural design, speed and flexibility are essential. With the integration of multimodal models like Gemini 2.0 Flash into ComfyUI, it is now possible to merge visual elements, manipulate them with text, and achieve photorealistic renderings in just a few clicks.
This tutorial explores a unique workflow that uses Gemini 2.0 Flash to combine multiple images and a 3D model into a coherent and detailed render.
