Gothic Diffusion — Sabri Gökmen

Gothic Diffusion is an AI-assisted computational design project that examines what it means for a machine to learn Gothic architecture as a system of ribs, tracery, rose windows, vault webs, pointed arches, and clustered supports.

A curated corpus of Gothic sections, elevations, tracery studies, rose windows, ornamental fragments, and plans was used to fine-tune and guide diffusion workflows through SDXL LoRA, ControlNet, and ComfyUI.

Selected outputs were extended through multi-view and image-to-mesh processes, producing drawings, approximate meshes, and resin-printed artifacts for exhibition at Lambla Gallery.
