A recent study on the most popular architectural styles by property experts GetAgent has utilized contemporary online AI technology to reimagine the Parthenon, alongside other global construction landmarks, as a Bauhaus building.

The eight-year-old popular British intermediary between homeowners and real estate agents, analyzed Google search data to find out the most popular architectural styles, and then used AI to reveal what the world’s most recognizable buildings would look like if built in a completely different architectural style.

“It’s been really interesting to use AI technology to reveal what would happen if some of the world’s most recognizable buildings were designed in architectural styles from different times and cultures,” said Co-Founder and CEO of GetAgent Colby Short.

To recreate the world’s most recognizable buildings GetAgent, used Midjourney, an artificial intelligence program that creates images from textual descriptions.

More specifically, the company’s agents used the prompt “What [building] would look like if designed in the [architecture] style, hyperrealistic, photorealism” to generate images redesigning the Parthenon and famous buildings like the Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal and the Sydney Opera House, among others.

We, at Greek Travel Pages (GTP), took the initiative to jump on the AI wagon by reimagining the Parthenon in other popular architectural styles with Midjourney creating the images that follow.

It is worth noting that since its launch Midjourney, along other similar AI programs, has sparked controversy.

A Midjourney image called Théâtre d’Opéra Spatial won first place in the digital art competition at the 2022 Colorado State Fair making the newsround last year, while a copyright infringement lawsuit was filed in January 2023 by artists claiming that the company had infringed the rights of millions of artists by training AI tools on five billion images scraped from the web without the consent of the original artists.
