This workshop focuses on providing technical expertise and cultivating creative thinking by utilizing AI platforms like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Rhinoceros3D. These tools significantly redefined workflows in spatial and product design. Midjourney, specifically its v6 alpha version’s features like image prompt-based style guidance, can help expand architectural concepts. Meanwhile, Stable Diffusion, especially versions 1.5, XL, and XL-Turbo, in conjunction with ControlNet and ComfyUI, allows precise manipulation of geometry, materiality, and atmosphere. Since these models have been established in the field, the workshop concentrates on practical implementation and understanding their relevance in architecture. Participants will learn merging the expansive conceptual capabilities of Midjourney with detailed control offered by Stable Diffusion and ControlNet. This combination aims to maximize the potential and optimize these tools for diverse design objectives. The workshop is designed to empower architects and designers with the skills to navigate these advanced technologies, leading to innovative and controlled design outputs.

Inspiring work by our student Jerry Figurski was developed during the “Taking Control 4.0: ControlNet x ComfyUI in Architecture” workshop led by Car...
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 course and well explained!
really nice course, so many thing left due to time :( but really inspiring to keep going
Very inspiring workshop
Really a top workshop!
A workshop to learn how to co-design with AI, either by giving it more weight to explore concepts or by exercising more control over the outcome. Very interesting workflows were learned. Thank you!
nice workshop
