LCA-GCS: Large City Architecture - Generated Cityscape Set

The Large City Architecture - Generated Cityscape dataset (LCA-GCS) is a comprehensive collection of 1,060,166 AI-generated images representing architectural features of 5,856 global cities. Created using advanced diffusion models, this dataset offers over 200 samples of various architectural types for each city with a population exceeding 100,000. LCA-GCS aims to facilitate comparative analysis, synthesis, and learning from AI-represented architecture, providing a unique resource for researchers, urban planners, and AI developers interested in global architectural trends and urban design.

Dataset Description

The LCA-GCS-set represents cities by situating architectural features from details to interiors to urban forms uncommon for existing databases in a flat ontology that allows to search and compare architectural representations in various ways. We hope that the LCA-GCS set benefits future research that could identify recurring spatial configurations, material palettes, and design elements characteristic of specific regions, cultures, or building typologies. Building on it, the synthetic dataset can contribute to e.g., training site-specific models, identifying commonalities, or extracting features that are difficult to access in existing data.

You can find a searchable version of the dataset at https://www.largecityarchitecture.org

Browse it

The set can be searched city by city without downloading it: the LCA-GCS explorer (also at lab-eds.org/tools/lca-gcs-explorer) shows every image of a city grouped by type and model, compares one type across cities, and carries the maps and the CLIP scores. It reads each image straight out of the tar shards by HTTP byte range, using the small index in viewer/ (city rows, per-city and per-type offset tables, thumbnail sheets, maps, country outlines; see viewer/README.md).

Methodology

Prompts: "Type in City." Where type iterates through the list of types below, and city iterates through the list of cities above 100,000 inhabitants listed at https://simplemaps.com/data/world-cities
