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 during 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 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.

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

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.

Terrific introduction to topics: Rolo's tips and tricks for prompts were especially helpul.

Good Course for beginners. Although it went a bit too fast and rather shallow on the advanced techniques. since the technology has been here for some time now, could focus more on the later advanced parts more.

Rolo was a fantastic instructor, very knowledgeable about the apps, very unselfish, which is very refreshing in today's global competitive environment. While the entire workshop was very understandable, I believe that breaking up the training for an app a day would be more beneficial in terms of learning more deeply about each one. Thank you so much for making this information/knowledge accessible to everyone.

The course was good. It covered as a overview everything. I am so happy I did it. But one thing I would recommend is that the amount of stuff that it was intended to cover, it should have been longer. I feel there were many things in which there should have been time given to students to try and come back in the live workshop. Expecially the Kling AI, Rendair stuff. Yes we spent a lot of time on MJ, but I think that was necessary. All thanks to Rolo for the teaching.

The course offered very good insights and a strong presentation of the potential of dynamic sketching with AI. However, the schedule was not followed as described. For most of the two days, we focused only on MidJourney, while Kling AI and Rendair were introduced only in the last hour. Archivinci was promised in the program description but was not covered at all, and when participants asked about it, there was no response. Finally, we were promised shared material on a drive, but more than 10 days have passed and nothing has been shared yet.

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!
