Design workflow has been completely redefined since AI platforms such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion impacted spatial and product design. This workshop offers technical knowledge and fosters creative thinking by exploring Midjourney, Stable Diffusion XL, combined with Rhinoceros3D, to produce open-ended, controlled designs to 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 using image prompts as guidance. Also, we will develop solid skills to control geometry, materiality, and atmosphere further using Stable Diffusion + ControlNet, including inpainting techniques. The Taking Control 3.0 workshop will combine both tools to maximize potential and optimize them for various design objectives.
AI Integration: Explore how Midjourney and Stable Diffusion reshape architectural design workflows, enhancing creativity and efficiency.
Midjourney Techniques: Learn to use commands like /image, /blend, and /remix to generate and expand architectural concepts.
Stable Diffusion Mastery: Develop skills in controlling geometry, materiality, and atmosphere using Stable Diffusion XL and ControlNet.
Hands-On Learning: Engage in practical exercises to apply AI tools for creating industry-ready designs.
Workflow Optimization: Master the integration of AI with Rhinoceros to streamline design processes and adapt to various project needs.
Introduction and Overview:
Midjourney for Architectural Concepts:

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.
Great!! A lot of knowledge to explore ;)
