Symbiotic Design: AI-Driven Fluid Modeling in Maya

Symbiotic Design: AI-Driven Fluid Modeling in Maya is a course that teaches architects to combine AI and manual 3D modeling to design, render, and animate fluid architectural forms. Students model sculptural typologies from scratch in Autodesk Maya, use Midjourney to generate AI-driven variations and final renders based on those models, and bring the results to life with cinematic animation in Runway ML. The course is Beginner level and results in a short video showcasing a fluid 3D design conceived in Maya and evolved with AI.

Symbiotic Workflow is an intensive weekend workshop that explores the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and 3D modeling in architectural design. Tailored for architects and designers, this course introduces a seamless workflow where AI and manual fluid modeling work in harmony, enhancing, not replacing, one another.

This hands-on workshop takes participants through a complete visual process from concept to model to motion, using Maya for modelling fluid architectural typologies, Midjourney for AI-driven ideation and rendering, and Runway for cinematic animation.

This workshop will explore how AI is reshaping architectural workflows from early design exploration to visual storytelling, and how leading design practices use these tools to elevate their design process.

By the end of this workshop, each participant will produce a short video showcasing a fluid 3D design conceived in Maya, evolved with AI, and brought to life through animation, using this unique AI + 3D workflow.

This workshop explores the design, modelling, and visualisation of fluid, sculptural architectural forms through a hybrid process that blends artificial intelligence with manual 3D modeling. The focus is on experimental, expressive outcomes that move beyond traditional architectural approaches. Participants will not only learn how to model in Autodesk Maya from scratch but also explore how AI can act as a design collaborator, making their workflows faster, more efficient, and more imaginative.

This workshop will begin in Autodesk Maya with guided live demonstrations and a series of 3d modeling exercises that gradually increase in complexity. These sessions are focused on helping participants develop confidence in creating fluid architectural forms.

Participants will be introduced to Midjourney, starting with the basics of how the platform works. They will then use it as a collaborative tool, generating a range of variations based on their 3D models. These AI-generated visuals will serve as inspiration to refine and evolve their designs in Maya.

Once the models are finalized, participants will return to Midjourney to render their designs. The final stage of the workshop brings these rendered outputs into Runway, where participants will learn how to create cinematic video animations that bring their architectural visions to life.

Chhavi Mehta is an architect and designer practicing between the UK and India, focusing on experimental design at the intersection of architecture, art, and emerging technologies. She holds a Master’s in Architecture and Urbanism from the AADRL at the Architectural Association, where she was part of the Cyber-Urban Incubator led by Patrik Schumacher.She has over six years of professional experience in London, including her time at Zaha Hadid Architects, where she worked on international projects across architecture, interiors, product design, and the metaverse. Her design language is rooted in fluid, sculptural forms, developed through complex parametric modeling, with Autodesk Maya as her primary tool. Chhavi also holds a Master’s in Advanced Architectural Design from Oxford Brookes University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Bath. With over three years of teaching experience, she conducts workshops and talks on AI in architecture, fluid 3D modeling, and digital fabrication, focusing on how emerging technologies are reshaping workflows and pushing design beyond the limits of conventional architecture across both physical and digital environments.

Comprehensive dive into fluid Maya modeling and AI visualization workflo The course provided a solid, hands-on framework for mastering subdivision surface modeling in Autodesk Maya and developing fluid architectural forms. I learned how to manage curvature continuity across organic massing, design terraced landscape transitions, and leverage AI-assisted rendering workflows to achieve polished, photorealistic architectural visualizations.

This workshop Symbiotic Design: AI‑Driven Fluid Modeling in Maya — led by Chhavi Mehta — is a wild ride into mixing AI with 3D modeling to build fluid, sculptural architecture. Using Autodesk Maya for modeling, plus AI‑tools and rendering with Midjourney and cinematic animation in Runway ML, the course pushes design beyond static forms. The hybrid workflow — AI ideation → Maya sculpting → AI‑enhanced rendering → video animation — left me with a cool animated concept of a fluid‑space design. It’s intense and a bit experimental, but for anyone curious about future‑ready architectural visualization, it’s super inspiring.
