Kajetan Szostok, an architect and AI researcher from Katowice, Poland, is redefining the field of digital architecture by merging cutting-edge AI technology with art and immersive design. His work explores the intersection of materiality, emotions, and perception, transforming architecture from traditional design to a more fluid and interactive experience. With MidJourney as his creative partner, Szostok creates digital spaces that challenge conventions and deepen our emotional connection to architecture.


Exploring Digital Architecture: A New Design Paradigm
For Szostok, digital architecture represents a groundbreaking approach that moves beyond replicating physical spaces to create entirely new spatial experiences. His designs challenge conventional notions of form and function, offering instead a narrative-driven perspective on architecture.
Through his work, Szostok explores how architecture can evoke emotions, tell stories, and foster connections. He employs negative prompts to filter out traditional elements like door handles, furniture, and structural components, replacing them with abstract, fluid designs that prioritize harmony, beauty, and human scale.
“Digital architecture is about more than aesthetics,” Szostok asserts. “It’s about creating spaces that resonate on a subconscious level, impacting how we feel and interact with our environment.”
A Journey Rooted in Art and Innovation
Szostok’s journey began with a strong foundation in architecture from Université Libre de Bruxelles and product design from the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. His early years were marked by a fascination with how design could evoke emotions and transform perceptions. However, it wasn’t until 2023 that he ventured into the world of AI—a decision driven by his desire to explore uncharted territories in architecture, art, and design.
“The goal is not just to use AI as a tool but to embrace it as a collaborator,” Szostok explains. His approach involves treating AI as a partner in the creative process, one that inspires, challenges, and refines ideas rather than merely visualizing them.

MidJourney: A Creative Ally
At the heart of Szostok’s methodology is MidJourney, an AI-driven platform known for its ability to generate stunning visual outputs. While Szostok acknowledges the model’s quirks, he values its creative potential. “MidJourney is not the most obedient tool,” he admits, “but its unpredictability often leads to the most beautiful and innovative results.”
Szostok’s process with MidJourney is deeply iterative. Each project begins with a concept or an experience—be it a book, a memory, or an encounter. This initial idea is transformed into prompts, which evolve over time through experimentation and feedback. Reference images and past generations are woven into this process, creating a dynamic loop of inspiration and refinement.
“Every piece is a statement of concept with purpose and meaning,” he says. His prompts are crafted to explore principles of digital architecture, focusing on themes like fluidity, integration with nature, and the creation of immersive spatial experiences.
Blending Tradition and Modernity
Szostok’s innovative approach has earned him widespread acclaim. His work has been exhibited in prestigious venues across the United States, Switzerland, Iran, Milan, Poland, and Saudi Arabia. He has also been featured in leading publications like Parametric Architecture Magazine, Prompt Magazine, and AIA Magazine, where he was named one of the top 10 AI architects of 2023.
In 2024, Szostok’s influence extended further when he spoke at Digital Design Days in Milan and delivered lectures at the Warsaw Architectural Pavilion. His insights into the intersection of AI and digital architecture have inspired a new generation of architects and designers to rethink their approach to technology and creativity.

Bridging the Gap Between Art and Technology
At the core of Szostok’s philosophy is a belief in the transformative power of AI as a medium for communication. He views AI not as a competitor to human creativity but as a bridge that connects the creator’s mind, art, and 3D craftsmanship.
“AI is a tool that brings abstract concepts to life,” he explains. “It helps us explore ideas that might otherwise remain intangible, turning them into tangible, impactful designs.”
This collaborative approach allows Szostok to push the boundaries of digital design, creating outputs that serve as starting points for further crafting and refinement. His work is not about achieving a finished product but about sparking dialogue and inspiring new possibilities.
Redefining Digital Architecture Principles
Szostok’s projects are guided by a set of core principles that reflect his vision for the future of architecture:
1-Integration with Nature: His designs often incorporate organic forms and natural elements, creating a sense of harmony between the built and natural environments.
2-Fluidity and Movement: Szostok’s spaces are dynamic and fluid, reflecting the ever-changing nature of human experience.
3-Immersive Experiences: By focusing on emotions and perception, his designs aim to create spaces that engage the senses and foster a deep connection with the viewer.
4-Storytelling Through Space: Each project is imbued with a narrative, making it more than just a physical structure but a medium for storytelling.
5-Human-Centric Design: Despite its digital nature, Szostok’s work prioritizes human scale and functionality, ensuring that the spaces he creates are accessible and meaningful.
The Future of Digital Architecture
As technology continues to evolve, Szostok believes that the role of AI in architecture will only grow. He envisions a future where AI is seamlessly integrated into the design process, enabling architects to explore new dimensions of creativity and innovation.
“AI is not the end of creativity,” he emphasizes. “It’s the beginning of a new era where technology and human imagination come together to redefine what is possible.”
Szostok’s work serves as a testament to the potential of this collaboration. By embracing AI as a creative partner, he has not only redefined his own approach to design but has also set a precedent for the industry as a whole.
Kajetan Szostok’s journey is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of innovation and collaboration. Through his groundbreaking work in digital architecture, he has demonstrated how AI can be harnessed to push the boundaries of design, creating spaces that are not just functional but deeply meaningful.
As the world grapples with the challenges and opportunities of the digital age, Szostok’s vision offers a beacon of inspiration—a testament to the endless possibilities that await when creativity and technology come together.
In his own words, “The goal is not to compete with AI but to collaborate with it, to explore its potential and redefine our approach to design.”
With his visionary approach, Kajetan Szostok is not just shaping the future of digital architecture; he is reshaping how we think about the role of technology in art, design, and human experience.
