In the uncanny feeling I experienced from Goya’s Deaf Man’s Villa, an estranged Deaf Man’s Villa was created but also repressed in my subconscious and thus invisible. How can I use AI to derive this Deaf Man’s Villa hidden in my subconscious? The aim of this project is, with AI Midjourney, to deduce the uncanny feeling I experienced from Goya’s Deaf Man’s Villa to an architectural design. 

This project provides a way to identify design intent and develop architectural design through research, AI Midjourney, traditional design methods such as drawing and modeling, and other methods such as novel writing. In the project's methodological path, the authors identify that AI has the potential to aid architectural design but cannot replace the human designer's driving role in purposeful architectural design. Ultimately, the authors discuss the role of AI-produced images in architectural design with the semiotic model of Charles Sanders Peirce.
