In order to develop the built environment, architects have always been visionaries to reflect both form and function. Architects and designers play a vital role in this industry by imagining and communicating the visions and spaces before they are created. However, with the use of AI-driven tools, architecture is evolving rapidly and turning into an interactive and immersive experience that was once unimaginable. Thanks to the rise of Artificial Intelligence, now architects and designers can bring innovative ideas to life by crafting spaces that respond, evolve, and tell stories.
The individuals who are looking to embrace the transformation, this workshop, “Fusing Realities: AI Driven Architectural Narratives” is designed for you. Explore the opportunity of how Artificial Intelligence can transform architectural visualization, parametric modeling, and generative design. The workshop will educate participants on how to turn conventional 3D models into dynamic and interactive visuals.
For centuries, architects have relied on sketches, models, and renderings to communicate their ideas. However, these traditional methods often fall short of conveying the full experience of a space. AI changes that. It allows us to generate realistic, immersive environments, respond to design challenges in real-time, and push creative boundaries like never before.
Architects have communicated their ideas through sketches, models, and renderings for centuries. However, these traditional methods often fall short of conveying the whole experience of a space. It is utmost to push creative boundaries and respond to design challenges in real-time and Artificial Intelligence now can allow us to generate realistic, immersive designs and built environment. This workshop is about discovering a new way of thinking through learning new tools. Artificial intelligence enables architects and designers to: Bring creative design ideas to life with renderings, immersive spatial environments, and VR experiences.
Working smarter not harder by automating tedious tasks and iterating designs instantly. Increased client understanding and engagement by conveying visual stories with the help of AI. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a grasp of AI-powered workflows as well as a deeper appreciation for how tools like MidJourney, Krea.AI, Luma AI, Rhinoceros 3D, and Grasshopper 3D.
To truly integrate architectural workflows through AI, we need the right tools. The workshop introduces participants to the software that bridges the gap between conceptual designs and immersive storytelling.
1. Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper – The Architect’s Digital Sketchbook
• Rhino is used by Architects who are keen to have precision and adaptability in their modeling process.
• Rhino has become a powerhouse for parametric design used as a visual scripting tool with the addition of Grasshopper.
• AI-driven plugins take this even further, allowing architects to produce intricate geometries with algorithmic designs.
• Real-time optimization of designs based on environmental and structural factors.
• Integrate AI-assisted visualization tools seamlessly.
2. Luma AI 3D Capture – Reality, Reconstructed
Luma AI allows neutral radiance fields (NeRFs) to generate hyper-realistic 3D scans from photographs which enables architects to:
• Immediate digitization of current spaces and implementing them into contemporary designs.
• Creation of digital twins for accurate visualization and planning. Digital twins are created for precise planning and visualization.
• AI-generated immersive walkthroughs with enhanced presentations.
3. MidJourney & Krea.AI – AI-Powered Concept Generation
An architect/designer’s vision occasionally requires elements that are not yet available. These AI tools:
• Help to develop conceptual renderings based on text prompts.
• Provides creative variations for quick design ideation and can be used for conceptualization in early design stages.
• Architects and Designers can explore alternative backgrounds of the visuals and concepts rapidly.
What You'll Discover:
Designing with Data
• The principles of Parametric and Generative Design modeling and how it improves the expression of architecture.
• How Grasshopper is used to develop dynamic, adaptable design solutions.
• Through the data-driven techniques, how the urban and spatial actions are optimized.
• Using AI for form-finding powered by machine learning and surprising design ideas.
• Bringing Architecture to Life through Immersion Storytelling using 3D models produced by AI in VR and AR.
• Establishing information that is beyond still images which are interactive and explorable.
• Enhances spatial perceptions by creating muti-sensory stories. AI-Powered Workflows
• Beyond technical instruction, the goal of this workshop is to cultivate an attitude that views AI as a creative collaborator.
• Participants will become proficient in AI-powered processes: From Concept to Engaging Experience of 3D Modelling and cultivating experience of how AI can speed up design without sacrificing originality.
• Architects will be able to easily generate several concepts by automating iterations with AI while maximizing productivity in the routine processes.
Meet Your Instructor: Arturo del Razo Montiel
A true pioneer in AI-driven architecture, Arturo del Razo Montiel is an architect and architectural designer specializing in parametric design and the integration of artificial intelligence. As the founder of Artu_Nreal, his work blends architecture, technology, and narrative to create spaces that are as thought-provoking as they are functional.
Why Learn from Arturo?
With extensive knowledge of generative workflows, immersive visualization, and parametric design, Arturo del Razo Montiel is an expert in AI-driven architecture. He has conducted AI-enhanced design workshops at prestigious institutions such as the University of Manchester, La Sapienza University, Rome, and Istanbul Bilgi University. In addition to gaining insights that will help to stand out in an increasingly digital and immersive design world, participants will also learn the evolving landscape of AI in Architecture and Design.
This workshop matters as AI is not here to replace architects, engineers, or designers but to empower them by providing streamlined workflows, enhanced creativity, and immersive experiences. But like any tool, its value depends on how well it is understood and applied. The ‘Fusing Realities: AI-Driven Architectural Narratives' workshop is an opportunity to step into the future of architecture. It is for designers who want to develop interactive concepts and immersive visualizations, work more efficiently with AI-driven automation, and expand their creative potential using generative design techniques.For architects and designers looking to stay ahead of the curve, this is more than a learning experience—it is a chance to redefine how they practice and communicate design.
