Design workflow has been completely redefined since AI platforms such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion impacted Architecture and Design. This workshop offers technical knowledge and fosters creative thinking by integrating Midjourney and Stable Diffusion with Rhinoceros to produce open-ended, controlled designs with industry-ready standards. On the one hand, we will learn to expand architectural concepts using Midjourney’s commands, such as /image, /blend, and /remix, including image prompts as guidance. On the other hand, we will develop solid skills further to control geometry, materiality, and atmosphere creation using Stable Diffusion + ControlNet, including inpainting techniques. The workshop will combine both tools to maximize potential and optimize them for various design objectives.
AI Integration in Design: Understand how to leverage Midjourney and Stable Diffusion within architectural workflows to enhance creativity and efficiency.
Midjourney Techniques: Master commands like /image, /blend, and /remix, along with effective use of image prompts to expand architectural concepts.
Materiality and Atmosphere Control: Develop skills in using Stable Diffusion and ControlNet for precise control over materiality and atmospheric design elements.
Workflow Optimization: Learn strategies to combine Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Rhinoceros, optimizing your design process for varied project objectives.
Practical Application: Engage in hands-on exercises that allow you to apply learned techniques, fostering a collaborative environment for design exploration and innovation.

Carlos Bañón is a pioneering architect and professor integrating AI, computational thinking, and digital fabrication into architectural design. Renowned for his resource-efficient, computationally-driven methodologies, he has reshaped urban landscapes and the built environment over twenty years through his practice, Subarquitectura. As a tenured faculty member at SUTD, he established the Architectural Intelligence Research Lab (AirLab) in 2015. His acclaimed work, showcased in two editions of the Venice Biennale, garnered prestigious awards like the Singapore President’s Design Award and a Nomination for the Mies Van Der Rohe Award. An influential figure in architectural education, he held visiting professor positions at leading institutions such as MIT, EPFL, and KEA, inspiring the next generations with innovative, tech-centric designs.
