Architectural Intelligence: From Prompt to Concept with Snaptrude AI is a free course that teaches architects Snaptrude's AI-powered workflow from prompt-based concepts to BIM-ready models. Across four modules, students generate building massing from text prompts in AI Mode, refine area planning, sunlight analysis, and facades in Design Mode, structure live-linked program data and develop full BIM models with room templates and furniture libraries, then produce renders, walkthroughs, and client-ready presentations in Presentation Mode. The course is Beginner level and free to attend.
Instructor
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Alberto Gonzalez 618mxNov 22, 20255.0out of 5I´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.
