Methodology
In this workshop, participants will learn how to design commercial environments such as stores, supermarkets, retail displays, and exhibition stands, integrating AI into every stage of the workflow: conceptual design, 3D modeling, texturing, post-production, and professional-grade animation.
This workshop utilizes tools such as Midjourney 7.0, Meshy AI, Tripo 3D, Rodin, Hitem 3D, Nano Banana Pro, Kling AI, Rendair, and traditional 3D applications (3Ds Max, Blender, SketchUp, Maya).
You will master a hybrid workflow that merges high-level retail design principles with AI-accelerated production pipelines.
Whether you work in architecture, interior design, commercial environments, or brand experiences, this workshop will teach you to transform retail concepts into immersive, emotionally engaging visual stories crafted for clients, stakeholders, and professional presentations.
Welcome to the new era where AI and retail architecture merge to reshape brand spaces.
This intensive hands-on workshop combines guided instruction, real-time practice, and project-based learning.
Participants will experience a complete end-to-end retail design workflow using real retail assets and scenes, while experimenting with:
Midjourney 7.0 for conceptual generation
Meshy AI, Tripo 3D, Rodin, Hitem 3D for rapid 3D asset creation
Blender, SketchUp, 3Ds Max, or preferred 3D tool
Nano Banana Pro for post-production
Kling AI, Rendair, Veo for animation
ChatGPT for ideation, troubleshooting, and design assistance
Each session progressively builds from foundation to concept to 3D to post-production to animation, enabling participants to complete a full AI retail architecture pipeline.
Day 1 – The Foundations of AI-Driven Retail Architecture
Session 1 – Fundamentals of Retail Design and 3D Implementation
