• Abstract: AI image generators based on diffusion models have recently garnered attention for their capability to create images from simple text prompts. However, for practical use in civil engineering they need to be able to create specific construction plans for given constraints. This paper investigates the potential of current AI generators in addressing such challenges, specifically for the creation of simple floor plans. We explain how the underlying diffusion-models work and propose novel refinement approaches to improve semantic encoding and generation quality. In several experiments we show that we can improve validity of generated floor plans from 6% to 90%. Based on these results we derive future research challenges considering building information modelling. With this we provide: (i) evaluation of current generative AIs; (ii) propose improved refinement approaches; (iii) evaluate them on various examples; (iv) derive future directions for diffusion models in civil engineering.

  Text-to-image generation (TTI) refers to the usage of models that could process text input and generate high fidelity images based on text descriptions. Diffusion models are one prominent type of generative model used for the generation of images through the systematic introduction of noises with repeating steps. In the era of large models, scaling up model size and the integration with large language models have further improved the performance of TTI models.
