Cinematic Architecture: AI-Powered Design Workflows

The workshop will focus on the workflow for generating the interior space and exterior facade for one building, based on the existing plan/image/reference.

In conclusion, we will combine elements from both workflows into a comprehensive video that showcases your project from both inside and outside. Every participant is working on their own project, highlighting individual progress and contribution throughout the workshop.

We will start by generating the base images for the interior and exterior. Alternatively, we will transform the white interior and exterior models into realistic renders using the AI editing toolset.

Then we will proceed to the next stage by editing those images - creating different/extra views, changing the atmosphere/weather, and adding some people.

To sum up, we will bring all the pictures to life by animating transitions between frames. This workshop is divided into three main parts:

Idea generation (based on the existing early-stage project or without it) 

Participants will explore how to ideate and develop a precise, extended prompt to achieve a photorealistic and desirable outcome. We will explicitly cover the tokens in the prompts (including the camera position and adjustments), parameters, style, omni, and image references.

Also, participants will receive a hands-on guide to working with the sketch/white model in MidJourney (and other AI editing tools) and to assigning a specific look/style to it. At this stage, we are working on both the interior and exterior images.

Project edits with AI 

We are using the results from the previous stage (or an existing project image) and making adjustments with the AI editing tools (Nano Banana Pro and others). The goal is to showcase different edit scenarios that could be easily achieved with a prompt and reference combination.

For instance, we will consider weather/time-of-day/atmospheric changes, object inpainting, extra-view/image generation, and people addition. The focus will be on the consistency of all generated images.

Animation of the project with AI

During the last phase of the workshop, we will explore video generation for all of the images, highlighting how these skills can elevate your projects. We will go through the key framing and storytelling for the final video.

At this stage, we will cover the transition making, the morphing, and object manipulations. The aim is to develop a cinematic and convincing video to pitch your architectural/design idea at an early stage.
