In this workshop students will learn how to create curvilinear architectural forms similar to those designed by MAD Architects and Zaha Hadid Architects (for reference only). We will be using generative artificial intelligence to create these forms and then use a 3D modeling tool to create a unique geometry. We will prompt crafting using Midjourney V6 or lower to develop sophisticated and complex building design concepts. Through an iterative process, we will arrive at our desired results, which can be highly iterative for precise outcomes. Examples of projects that we will work on include a high-density housing complex, a Google campus, etc.

This workshop aims to use Midjourney to create fluid or curvilinear shapes ranging from the scale of individual products to entire cities. Once we’ve generated the desired form, we’ll replicate or modify it using programs such as Autodesk Maya, Rhinoceros, and Grasshopper. Finally, depending on the product size, we will render the design using either Enscape or Keyshot. Throughout the process, we will ensure that our geometry is clean, easy to handle, and suitable for 3D printing.

• Intelligently craft prompts and generate high-quality images via Midjourney.
• Extrapolate geometry from the generated images and translate that into a 3D Model in a creative manner.
• Render of their models with scale figures.

• Students will work in groups in this workshop
• The students will be given a general tutorial on prompt crafting for Midjourney and then given time to generate attractive, complex, and sophisticated forms on Midjourney, most likely a large-scale architectural project. Each student can focus on developing different project parts, such as façade, interiors, furniture, lighting, textures, etc.
• Participants will then be given a basic introduction to Maya and Rhinoceros initially to get the hang of the tool with a specific form, procedural 3D Modelling from a primitive polygon, or using Rhino/Grasshopper to generate the form.
• After that, the exercise will be combinatorial, using the generated form and replicating/altering it on the 3D Modelling tool.
• The students will also receive a basic tutorial on rendering their images using Enscape or Keyshot.
• Each group will be given time to discuss ideas and divide their work individually. 

• 16 Gigabytes RAM and upwards.
• 1060 6GB Integrated Graphics and upwards.

• Total sessions: 2 Sessions
• PAACADEMY will provide a certificate of attendance.
