AI is here to stay and is already having a strong influence on all design sectors at a speed beyond what our senses can clearly perceive. It is our responsibility as professionals to prepare ourselves to properly use these amazing tools, prioritizing the human factor and establishing guidelines for a balanced and conscious handling of them. The course will delve into technical, philosophical, theoretical, and practical aspects of creating design concepts using Midjourney 5.1 as a tool. The possibilities are endless, and this is just the beginning.

  • 01

    Embrace AI in Design: Explore AI's profound impact on various design sectors and learn how to harness these tools effectively while prioritizing the human element.

  • 02

    Comprehensive Approach: Delve into the technical, philosophical, and theoretical aspects of design concepts using Midjourney 5.1, preparing for a future where AI is integral to creative processes.

  • 03

    Innovative Project Development: Engage in the conceptualization of design projects across architecture, urban design, robotics, transportation, and industrial design, fostering creativity and innovation.

  • 04

    Hands-On Learning: Participate in exercises that allow students to develop concepts based on foundational knowledge, leading to personal project proposals.

  • 05

    Framework for AI Utilization: Gain a broader understanding of AI's role in design, enabling participants to create or refine their own methodologies for integrating AI into their work.

The ‘Dreaming with AI’ workshop will delve into the deep conceptualization of innovative design projects, mainly in the fields of architecture, urban design, robotics, transportation, and industrial design in general. During the course, students will be given concepts to develop based on what they learned in the first phase, and eventually, they will be the ones who will be able to propose one or more of the topics to be developed. The objective is for students to obtain a broader theoretical and practical framework regarding the use of AI for design and eventually develop their own methods or improve existing ones.

A Strong Foundation for AutoTroph Computational Thinking

This course was especially valuable for my AutoTroph research because it develops the kind of computational thinking needed to work with adaptive architectural systems. The progression from mathematical surfaces and data structures to recursive algorithms, meshes, and volumetric modeling shows how design can emerge from rules, relationships, and feedback. Rather than treating Grasshopper as a form-making tool, the workshop encourages participants to design the process itself, which closely aligns with my interest in architectures that can respond, transform, and evolve.

Excellent Course for Architectural Competitions

A very useful and well-structured course that clearly explains how to use AI throughout the architectural competition process, from understanding and rethinking the brief to concept development, visualization, presentation boards, and final submission. I learned practical methods that can improve creativity, workflow, storytelling, and the overall quality of competition projects.

This course introduced me to the fundamentals of how data can be effectively utilized and exchanged between software systems. Despite having very limited coding knowledge, I realized that the barrier to entry has become significantly lower, enabling anyone to explore “vibe coding” and create innovative solutions without requiring extensive technical expertise.

A great introduction to AI-driven architectural modelin

A very insightful workshop exploring how AI agents can interact with Rhino and Revit to create and modify geometry, work with BIM data, and automate repetitive tasks. It offered a practical perspective on how AI can become part of the architectural workflow beyond image generation and visualization.
