AI-generated images are everywhere, but do they actually change how architecture is designed? In most practices, AI is still used as a post-production tool. This workshop proposes a different approach: AI as an active design partner, embedded from early research and concept development to geometry, communication, and final presentation. Rather than focusing on image-making alone, the workshop explores how AI reshapes decision-making, iteration, and design thinking. Your Upgrade We move from “AI as renderer” to “AI as design intelligence.” Participants will learn how to integrate AI across: The goal is not better images, but optimized design processes. What We’ll Work On Part 1 — AI in the Creative & Concept Phase (Midjourney demonstration — no account required) Part 2 — AI in Architectural Communication (Claude) Part 3 — From Geometry to Production (hands-on with ComfyUI Local) Part 4 — Reflection & Critical Discussion Who This Is For This workshop is primarily designed for architects, spatial designers, exhibition designers, and interior designers – professionals who work with space, atmosphere and built environments. The tools and workflows are equally relevant for creative professionals and art directors who want to build visual worlds and AI-supported presentation material. Prior Knowledge & Tools No previous experience with AI, Midjourney or ComfyUI is required. Experience with other AI image-generation tools can be helpful, but the workshop is designed so that participants can follow the workflows without prior knowledge of the specific applications. The tools serve different …
