This Weekend! AI-Powered Design Ideation: Midjourney, mnml & Nano Banana

This workshop will explore cutting-edge tools – Midjourney for generating stunning visuals from simple text, Nano Banana for magically editing images with a few words, and harnessing the power of Stable Diffusion in a visual node-based workflow.

You’ll get insight into generative workflows that can be applied to any design typology, with a focus on early-stage concept development.

Body Architecture 4.0

The workshop will provide participants with both technical and methodological foundations to apply computational design for projects in the fashion, sportswear, and medical industries. Building on the success of the first three editions, the enhanced 4.0 format introduces advanced design workflows that merge computational design with artificial intelligence. Participants will engage with a cross-platform toolkit that includes Rhino and Grasshopper, SideFX Houdini, MakeHuman, Midjourney AI, and RunwayML.

SubD Intelligence: Architectural Modeling & AI Rendering

This intensive two-day workshop dives into the power of SubD modeling in Rhino, real-time visualization with Enscape, and the integration of AI tools to enhance architectural workflows. Whether you’re new to SubD or looking to elevate your visualization game, this workshop offers a structured pathway to mastering both form generation and presentation techniques in a short timeframe.

How to Turn Rhino3D Models into AI Concept Renders with SDXL & ControlNet

Learn how to turn Rhino3D models into AI-driven conceptual renders using ComfyUI, SDXL, and ControlNet.

Free Event! RunDiffusion: End-to-End AI Visuals for Architecture

Learn end-to-end visualization workflows for architecture in RunDiffusion. In this free live event, you will build mood boards from references, iterate materials, form and tone, make precise image edits, and turn hero stills into short motion for client narratives.

Parametric Brickscapes: Grasshopper, Augmented Reality & AI

Parametric Brickscapes is a two-day intensive workshop for beginners that bridges parametric design, augmented reality, and AI visualization into a single creative workflow. Participants will gain an understanding of parametric and geometric logic in Grasshopper, enabling them to design a fully parametric brick wall and translate code-based geometry into physical form through AR-guided assembly with Jenga blocks.

New Workshop! AI & Parametric Negotiation 2.0

This session advances the collaboration between generative AI and parametric design. Building on Part 1, participants transform Grasshopper-generated video patterns into site-informed spatial designs, developing a co-evolving human–AI process from abstraction to architectural realization.

New Event! Design-Tech Talk 8.0

Step into the future of design innovation with Design-Tech Talk 8.0, a two-day online event bringing together the world’s leading thinkers and creators at the crossroads of architecture, technology, and digital design.
