Can there be a dialogue between designers and AI where their intelligence comes together?This workshop focuses on the collaboration between designers and AI. "Artificial Intelligence: Parametric Negotiation" workshop explores how minimal interventions from the designer can transform AI into a creative companion. The goal is to find a ground where designers maintain some control while allowing AI to suggest options that might not have been considered.In the workshop, we will neither fully control AI nor blindly accept what it generates. Instead, we will create a shared human-AI latent space where both contribute to the design process.

This workshop is designed for beginners without prior knowledge of Rhino, Grasshopper, or ComfyUI. We will primarily focus on image-to-image creation and achieving precise results based on the design or pattern created during the workshop.To enhance the designs, we will use IPAdapter in ComfyUI for style transfer, utilizing Midjourney’s latent space to generate images. To help AI better understand the design, we will use Depth, Sketch, and Canny ControlNet, ensuring that AI can interpret the design more accurately while allowing flexibility to apply its creative interpretation.

• Designing patterns with minimal intervention that AI understands and then enhances through its interpretation. 
• Critically thinking about how much AI influence we want in our designs. 
• Creating a negotiable space between parametric designs and the AI tool.
• Learning the design language and workflow that AI understands, and identifying where AI’s limitations arise. 
• Understanding how small changes in the workflow can drastically alter the output. 
• Imagining designs that were not intended while creating designs in digital modeling space. 
• Developing an iterative design process where the entire design doesn't need to be fully modeled.

• The “AI & Parametric Negotiation” Free Studio workshop by PAACADEMY will start on Saturday, 12th October, at 14:00 (GMT).
• Total sessions: one session
• The teaching duration per session will be 5 hours.
• Students will have time for a break between teaching hours.
• Each session and the entire studio will be recorded, and videos will be available for participants just a day after the class for unlimited time.
• Software Installation is NOT a part of the workshop. Participants must have all the software installed before starting the workshop.
• If you cannot install ComfyUI locally, participants can use RunComfy, a platform focused on the Stable Diffusion model. It charges based on server rental time and the number of models used (it supports ControlNet).
• PAACADEMY will provide a certificate of attendance.
