Do I need prior experience with AI tools or sketching to join this workshop?

No prior AI experience is required, but basic familiarity with architectural sketching or design concepts will help. The workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate participants, and all AI workflows will be explained step-by-step.

What software or subscriptions do I need before the workshop?

All participants will receive a one-month free subscription to Rendair before the workshop. The only required subscription is a MidJourney Standard membership for the hands-on exercises. Other AI tools used in the workshop (Kling AI, Archivincy, ChatGPT, DeepSeek) will be demonstrated by the instructor, but having your own subscriptions for these is not mandatory to attend.

Will the workshop cover how to animate sketches?

Absolutely. You’ll learn to animate your AI-generated sketches using tools like Kling AI and Archivincy, adding camera movements, transitions, and depth effects to create professional animated presentations.

Will I learn prompt writing techniques specific to architectural sketches?

Yes. You’ll develop progressive prompting skills tailored for architectural sketches, including how to refine concepts, generate stylistic variations, and use AI to achieve consistent, high-quality results.

What will I take away from the workshop?

By the end, you’ll have a complete workflow for turning architectural concepts into dynamic, animated presentations, along with your own AI-generated sketches and a polished animated video you can showcase in your portfolio or client pitches.

Dynamic Sketching: AI-Powered Architecture

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.
