About the Course

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 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.

What You Will Learn

Integrating AI Tools: Understand how to effectively integrate Midjourney and Stable Diffusion into your architectural design workflow.
Midjourney Commands: Gain proficiency in using Midjourney commands like /image, /blend, and /remix to generate and expand architectural concepts.
Materiality and Atmosphere Control: Learn techniques for controlling materiality and atmosphere in your designs using Stable Diffusion and ControlNet.
3D Model Production: Develop skills for producing industry-ready 3D models by combining the capabilities of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Rhinoceros.
Optimized Design Workflows: Explore strategies for optimizing your design process and achieving various design objectives through collaborative exercises.
