ArchForge — Mamluk / Islamic Cairo LoRA

A FLUX.1-dev LoRA adapter for Mamluk and Islamic Egyptian architecture: carved limestone facades, pointed arches, muqarnas vaulting, mashrabiya screens, ablaq striped stonework, domes and minarets of historic Cairo.

Trained as part of ArchForge — a time-boxed proof of concept, not a production model. Read the limitations below before using it.

Training

Dataset

marwantosolve/archforge-mamluk-cairo — 39 curated 512px images, per-image licence and attribution recorded.

Usage

import torch
from diffusers import FluxPipeline

pipe = FluxPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
).to("cuda")
pipe.load_lora_weights("marwantosolve/archforge-mamluk-cairo-lora")

image = pipe(
    "mamluk_architecture, a historic Islamic courtyard in Cairo, "
    "carved limestone facade, pointed arches, architectural photography",
    num_inference_steps=20,
    guidance_scale=3.5,
    height=512,
    width=512,
    generator=torch.Generator("cpu").manual_seed(0),
).images[0]
image.save("out.png")

The trigger token is mamluk_architecture. It is not required for the style to appear, but it is what the captions conditioned on.

Limitations

• —39-image dataset, 400 steps. This is a style demonstration, not a robust style model. Expect weak binding and inconsistent results.
• —Cairo-weighted and monument-biased. Wikimedia contributors photograph well-documented, tourist-accessible buildings, and the adapter inherits that bias.
• —Non-commercial. FLUX.1-dev is released under the FLUX.1-dev Non-Commercial License; this adapter inherits that restriction.
• —Documented failure cases — see the evaluation report linked from https://github.com/marwantosolve/ArchForge. They are recorded deliberately rather than omitted.
