Generative AI has shifted the paradigm for architectural design. Text to image and image to video tools like Midjourney and Runway have become increasingly powerful and essential to the daily workflow of architects and designers looking to gain a competitive edge.With this monumental innovation, it is important for designers from all backgrounds to join the conversation in order to create a diverse ecosystem. In this workshop, Aikin Karr will explore the basics of Midjourney, how to get started using it, how it can be incorporated into your current design workflow. Participants can also expect to learn how to engineer prompts that will specify their desired geographical and environmental context and achieve consistent, captivating results that resemble architectural renders.

This studio will mainly be focusing on the Midjourney image generator from a beginner level. However, participants will also get a chance to explore the full design workflow ideal for video generation. This will include but is not limited to creating a content calendar in Notion, prompt engineering with Midjourney, post processing with Adobe Photoshop (Beta) and Runway ML and a brief exploration of emerging trends within the AI-Architectural landscape.

How to set up a notion document to organise their workflow.Use the Midjourney Text-to-image generator to engineer prompts specific to their desired geographical and environmental context.Achieve consistent results with Midjourney.Use Photoshop (Beta) to add context or remove noise from their results.Turn their still images into Reel/TikTok video slideshows using Capcut.

The workshop covers a simple beginner workflow to use Midjourney text-to-image to create captivating results in the video format. The workflow will be as follows:Notion page builder, tables, and sub-pages to organize work.Midjourney prompt engineering, iteration, variation, selection and upscaling.Post-production in Photoshop Beta for image editing and refinement via generative fill.Capcut video compilation and editing: images to follow the rhythm of the beat.
