  This paper presents 'Form Forge,' a prototype of a creative system for
interactively exploring the latent space of architectural forms, inspired by
Franois Blanciak's SITELESS: 1001 Building Forms via direct manipulation of
latent variables. Utilizing a fine-tuned StyleGAN2-ADA model, the system allows
users to navigate an array of possible building forms derived from Blanciak's
sketches. Distinct from common latent space exploration tools that often rely
on projected navigation landmarks, Form Forge provides direct access to
manipulate each latent variable, aiming to offer a more granular exploration of
the model's capabilities. Form Forge's design is intended to simplify the
interaction with a complex, high-dimensional space and to serve as a
preliminary investigation into how such tools might support creative processes
in architectural design.
