Introduction of the workshop:

This intensive workshop reveals how Snaptrude's intelligent design tools can transform your workflow from concept to presentation. Learn to use AI-powered features for faster, smarter design processes that actually work.

Module 1: Introduction and Snaptrude AI Mode: Start Smarter

Learn how to go from a simple text prompt to a working building concept. Explore techniques for refining prompts, ensuring compliance, adjacency planning, and testing layouts. Participants will experiment with multiple iterations, learn prompting best practices, and generate varied outputs.

Module 2: Snaptrude Design Mode: Taking Control & Designing

Move beyond AI-mode into Snaptrude Design Mode, where participants will begin detailed design using Snaptrude’s powerful tools. This workshop will teach you how to navigate and model effectively, refine area planning and adjacencies, and apply advanced features such as sunlight analysis, toposolid imports, and refine exterior facades.

Module 3: Snaptrude Program Mode and BIM Mode: Design meets Data

With Snaptrude’s Program Mode, participants will learn advanced skills on how to structure and manage live-linked tables with departments, spaces, and area targets. With BIM mode, they will learn how to transition sketches and massing into fully developed BIM models, along with advanced features on using room templates for rapid iteration and adding furniture from libraries.

Module 4: Snaptrude Presentation Mode (Program to Proposal)

This module focuses on transforming design outputs into compelling client presentations. Participants will learn to create renders and walkthroughs, auto-generate diagrams and inspirations, and integrate program data, analysis, and design into a cohesive client presentation ready for delivery.

What You’ll Learn?

Generate and refine building concepts with prompt engineering.

Move from AI outputs to detailed design in Snaptrude.

Manage data-driven design through Program Mode to BIM Mode.

Create client-ready presentations with renders and walkthroughs.

Streamline workflows to cut effort and boost collaboration.

Architectural Intelligence: From Prompt to Concept with Snaptrude AI

Methodology:

We will adopt a hands-on, project-based learning approach tailored for architects and designers who want to integrate AI seamlessly into their workflows.

While each module provides a structured framework, participants will have the freedom to experiment with prompts, design strategies, and presentation techniques that align with their own project interests.

The workflow is designed to move progressively from AI-assisted ideation to detailed design, data structuring, BIM integration, and final client presentations.

Each step builds on the previous one, ensuring participants develop both confidence and fluency in moving across Snaptrude’s modes. Collaborative discussions, peer feedback, and guided Q&A sessions will reinforce key concepts and best practices.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained practical experience in transforming their work into compelling client-ready deliverables.

This methodology not only minimizes repetitive manual tasks but also helps participants focus on what matters most- designing with creativity and precision.

Introduction + PAACADEMY Updates (09:02)

AI Massing Generation (52:39)

Prompt-Driven Architectural Concept Generation

This session uses Snaptrude AI to convert precise text prompts into architectural building proposals, define programmatic areas and space types, establish site context parameters, and rapidly generate multiple massing variations for concept development.

AI-Driven Massing Setup (56:19)

Envelope Massing And Ground Planning

This session builds the building envelope based on AI-stack area targets, copies floors to form the massing, modifies upper floors uniquely, and begins laying out the ground floor using reference lines and offsets.

Context & Facade Strategies (49:12)

Site Definition & Facade Setup

This session shapes the site with terracing strategies, defines ground surfaces into different functional zones, adds contextual elements like trees and people, applies basic materials, and begins forming a simplified facade panel approach.

Presentation Sheet Workflow (35:58)

Structured Views & Presentation Setup

This session sets up structured 3D and plan views, assigns clear department colors, organizes them onto presentation sheets in Present Mode, and refines AI-generated imagery for a cohesive design narrative.

As always, amazing

This is a great tool for big projects. Taylor and the team were very attentive eventhough there were some small issues with the projects we were trying to save into our own accounts. The are so many powerful tools, the app has so much potential and there is still so much to explore on my own time. Taylor was great and tried to cover everything in a very limited time. Kuddos for this opportunity to explore this amazing tool!

I´ve just got done the first course in PAA Academy an I think I´ll go for more and a membership. Very useful app (Snaptrude), in a couple of hours you can get a quick presentation that includes areas and a strategy for the project. As I am not an english native speaker, this time I struggled a bit with the super speedy speaking instructor, but was great anyway, that is up to me.
