Introduction of the workshop:

Dynamic Sketching: AI-Powered Architecture is not just a workshop; it's a creative breakthrough for architects, designers, and students ready to revolutionize the way they present their ideas.

In this immersive experience, you’ll unlock the power of AI to generate stunning architectural sketches in multiple styles and bring them to life through dynamic animations. Whether you're pitching a bold concept or refining a design narrative, this workshop will equip you with the tools and techniques to stand out with clarity, emotion, and originality.

Say goodbye to static presentations and hello to a new era of storytelling where your vision moves, evolves, and captivates.

What You’ll Learn?

Progressive prompt development techniques using MidJourney
Exploration of 10+ different architectural sketching styles
How to generate automatic prompts within MidJourney
Comparative strategies using DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT for sketch-based prompting
Techniques for sketch animation directly inside MidJourney
Creating fluid and professional sketch animations with Kling AI
Using Archivincy for advanced sketch animation workflows
Combining Rendair and Archivincy for high-quality sketch generation

Methodology:

This workshop is divided into two main parts:

AI Sketch Creation

Participants will explore a wide range of sketching styles using AI, from loose conceptual drawings to more defined representations. Emphasis will be placed on prompt development strategies that progressively refine the visual outcome. This section encourages creative exploration beyond photorealism, focusing on mood, interpretation, and conceptual strength. 

Professional Animation with AI

The second part of the workshop will focus on animating the generated sketches. This workshop will teach you how to utilize AI tools to create professional-grade animations featuring various camera movements, transitions, and visual effects. The goal is to develop compelling animated presentations that effectively communicate architectural ideas to clients and stakeholders, especially in the early design phase.  

Program:

Day 1: AI Prompting & Sketch Creation in MidJourney

Mastering Prompting for Architectural Sketches:

  • Introduction to the course and key objectives
  • What is progressive prompting?
  • Building prompts from scratch: structure, clarity, and iteration
  • Live demonstration: generating sketch outputs in MidJourney
  • Hands-on exercise: participants create and refine prompts for a chosen design

 Exploring Styles & Smart Prompting Tools

  • Overview of 10+ sketching styles in architecture (pencil, ink, charcoal, axonometric, etc.)
  • Matching style with concept and context
  • Automatic prompt generation inside MidJourney
  • Comparison: MidJourney vs. DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT for architectural prompts
  • Hands-on session: create three stylistically distinct sketch views of the same project

Day 2: AI-Powered Sketch Animation & Presentation

Animating Your Sketches with AI Tools

  • Introduction to animation tools: Kling AI, Archivincy, and MidJourney video
  • Understanding movement: camera logic in architectural storytelling with Kling AI
  • Live demo: creating motion from static sketches
  • Hands-on: animating a Day 1 sketch using MidJourney

Advanced Workflows & Final Showcase

  • Using Archivincy + Rendair for advanced sketch animation workflows
  • Enhancing animations with smooth transitions and layered depth
  • Final hands-on: each participant creates a 12-second animated sketch video of a topic given by the instructor
  • Group review and professional feedback
  • Closing: exporting, sharing, and presenting your animated concepts

Hi! I’m really excited to join the course. I just wanted to ask if the class sessions will be available as recordings after the live sessions, or if the course will only be offered live? It would be helpful to know in case I ever need to review the material or miss a session. Thank you! (1 replies)
