Unlocking Emergent Styles with Data Curation
This paper redefines stylistic control in connectionist architectural design, moving beyond deterministic parametricism to an emergent, data-curated approach. It challenges linear control assumptions, revealing how data mix leads to unpredictable style fusion, and positions the architect as a curator of emergence.
Executive Impact: Reshaping Architectural Design Pipelines
Our research provides critical insights for architecture firms and enterprise design studios looking to leverage advanced AI. By understanding data-centric design, leaders can drive innovation, manage uncertainty, and cultivate unique aesthetic outcomes.

Linear Control Hypothesis
The study's core finding: the 'cocktail hypothesis' of linear stylistic control by data ratios was disproven. Output collapsed into an 'indeterminate middle' rather than a seamless blend.

Classifier Accuracy Profile
Xception classifier accuracy was 100% at typological extremes but dropped to ~33% for mixed ratios, indicating a breakdown of deterministic control.

CURATOR
Architect's New Role
Architectural authorship shifts from deterministic form-making to curating emergence—selecting, proportioning, and weighting data to orchestrate probabilistic outcomes.
Leveraging Data Curation for Unique Aesthetic Outcomes
Our experiment highlights that data curation is not merely a technical routine but a new aesthetic and ethical practice. Enterprises can apply these insights to develop unique design vocabularies and explore uncharted creative realms.
Key Findings:
- Strategic Decoupling: Disrupt entrenched correlations in datasets to learn rare, counter-intuitive pairings.
- Conceptual Augmentation: Use 'glitch filters' and illogical mappings to force models to learn from imperfection, generating new aesthetics.
- Curating Negative Space: Incorporate non-iconic, 'failed' buildings to counteract homogenization and foster diverse outputs.
