This workshop explores how architects can move beyond generating random, disconnected AI images to develop a highly controlled, interconnected visual narrative. The process begins with ChatGPT to structure project briefs, which are then fed into Midjourney to generate high-quality anchor images exploring materials, lighting, and spatial atmosphere.
Once an anchor image is established, you will use Luma AI to generate consistent alternative viewpoints and organize your frames into a cohesive storyboard. Finally, these stills are transformed into fluid video sequences, and the entire visual journey is packaged into a polished, interactive document to elevate your design pitches.
Scope
- Develop robust architectural concepts and structured prompts using ChatGPT.
- Generate and refine high-quality architectural visualizations in Midjourney.
- Utilize Luma AI to maintain architectural consistency across multiple viewpoints.
- Transform selected still frames into refined architectural videos.
- Compile all visual assets (storyboards, images, and videos) into a final interactive deliverable.
Program
Day 1: From Architectural Concept to AI Imagery
- AI Workflows: Introduction to ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Luma AI integration.
- Concept Development: Use ChatGPT to develop design descriptions and effective image prompts.
- Visualization Generation: Generate interior/exterior concepts and select a primary anchor image in Midjourney.
- Image Refinement: Edit images, modify materials, and maintain design consistency using Luma Layers.
- Consistent Viewpoints: Generate alternative architectural angles based on your selected anchor image.
- Assignment: Generate one architectural image in Midjourney and create two variations using Luma.
Day 2: From Visual Storytelling to Interactive HTML
- Narrative Building: Review Day 1 assignments and introduce visual storytelling principles.
- Storyboarding: Use ChatGPT and Luma to construct a structured 3×3 visual storyboard.
- Image-to-Video Animation: Master camera movements and animate architectural scenes using Luma.
- Interactive Board Assembly: Compile your AI visuals, storyboards, and video sequences into a final interactive document.
- Final Review: Review your fully functional interactive web deliverable.
- Assignment: Create a short architectural narrative and compose it into your final interactive deliverable.
