Parametric Intelligence 2.0 - Studio Tim Fu

Methodology:

We’re back with Tim Fu and Studio Tim Fu, launching an all-new course module designed to push the boundaries of AI-driven architectural design. This time, Tim Fu and three of the studio’s leads will guide participants through a comprehensive, hands-on workflow that bridges concept design with AI, parametric modeling, and visualization techniques.

Participants will start by mastering advanced Midjourney techniques to transform their ideas into strong design concepts. They will then explore parametric architecture and scripting using JS5 and LLM, learning how to rationalize designs and generate 3D models with precision. From there, they’ll dive into rendering with Magnific and Krea, crafting highly realistic visuals. Finally, they’ll bring their designs to life using Kling and Runway to create animations and develop a cohesive, fully realized architectural concept.

In addition to developing technical and practical AI skills, participants will gain exclusive insight into the innovative workflows at Studio Tim Fu. They’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the real-world projects we’re working on, learning how AI and parametric tools are shaping architectural practice today. This is a unique opportunity to see how these cutting-edge techniques are being applied to actual architectural projects.
