Özet

This study aims to position the use of artificial intelligence in architectural design, not merely

as a tool for visual generation, but as an exploratory decision-support framework in which

selected design relationships can be represented in an interpretable and transparent manner.

To this end, the study developed ArchAI 2.0, a five-stage hierarchical system that models

semantic and spatial relationships between two-dimensional floor plans and generated

building facades. The objective was to conditionally generate exterior building image alternatives

using floor plan-derived structural information. Following a pair-integrity screening,

657 valid floor plan–exterior photograph project pairs sourced from the ArchDaily platform

were retained and partitioned at the project level into training (n = 459), validation (n = 99),

and independent test (n = 99) sets. Plan-derived geometric information was extracted

using a deterministic computer-vision parsing pipeline and subsequently processed into

structural tokens and a depth-aware parametric facade skeleton. The resulting skeleton

representation was used as conditioning guidance for a ControlNet integrated with Stable

Diffusion 1.5. A Plan-Edge ControlNet trained and evaluated under the same protocol was

used as the primary conditioned baseline, while an unconditional text-only Stable Diffusion

1.5 model provided a secondary reference. On the independent test set, the Skeleton and

Plan-Edge models showed comparable performance, with no statistically significant differences

in Chamfer Distance, Edge IoU, SSIM, or CLIP cosine similarity after Holm correction.

Relative to the text-only baseline, Skeleton conditioning produced a modest but statistically

significant improvement in Edge IoU (0.0611 vs. 0.0574; Holm-adjusted p = 0.031), whereas

the text-only model achieved significantly higher CLIP similarity (0.2749 vs. 0.2647; Holmadjusted

p < 0.001). FID was treated as a descriptive dataset-level measure because of the

limited test set size. A bounded human conditioning adherence evaluation further showed

that 58 of 98 evaluable cases reproduced the requested two-story organization (59.18%;

58.59% across the full 99-case test set), with a mean absolute story error of 0.4184 stories.

Opening-column correspondence was more limited: across 87 evaluable cases, bipartite

matching at the primary threshold of τ = 0.08 normalized facade width yielded a micro

F1-score of 0.2970. An independent second-rater assessment on a predefined 25-case subset

demonstrated high human annotation reliability, with 96.00% exact agreement and linearly

weighted Cohen’s κw = 0.9351 for story-count ratings and an inter-rater opening-column

matching F1-score of 0.7692. Rather than demonstrating uniform superiority or guaranteed

realization of user-specified constraints, the findings indicate that the proposed depthaware

representation provides an alternative structured conditioning mechanism with a performance comparable to direct plan-edge guidance, while human evaluation reveals a clear distinction between representational editability and actual conditioning adherence. The deterministic rule engine complements this generative pipeline as an interpretable rule-based decision-support
