This workshop will provide architects with a comprehensive mastery of the Flux model suite, moving from foundational text-to-image to complex, multi-conditional workflows.
The workshop focuses on leveraging the unique capabilities of each Flux variant to achieve unparalleled control, quality, and efficiency in architectural concept generation, refinement, and translation into dynamic video and 3D forms.

Hour 3: Advanced Direction & Stylistic Influence
Deep Dive into flux loras
-
Understanding how LoRAs are implemented and interact specifically with Flux models.
-
Sourcing, applying, and weighting architectural LoRAs for targeted stylistic control (e.g., Brutalism, Biophilic design, specific material palettes).
Image Referencing with flux redux (IPAdapter)
-
Mastering image-to-image referencing workflows for consistent style, mood, and compositional guidance.

Architectural use cases: Refining details, removing unwanted artifacts, extending canvases, and targeted design modifications.
High-Resolution Upscaling with flux dev
Day 1 Wrap-up & Q&A
Day 2: Advanced Combinations, Multimodality & Dimensional Leaps (4 Hours)
Focus: Synergizing the learned techniques into complex workflows, exploring multimodal generation, and translating 2D masterpieces into dynamic video and 3D forms.
Hour 1: The Combinational Workflow – Total Control
Building the Ultimate Architectural Workflow
-
This hour is dedicated to constructing a complex, synergistic workflow from the ground up.
-
Layering multiple techniques for maximum creative control:
-
Strategies for organizing and managing complex ComfyUI graphs.
-
Live demonstration: Creating a highly detailed and specific architectural scene using the full combinational workflow.
Tool Focus: All Day 1 tools combined.
Hour 2: Multimodal Generation with flux kontext dev
Exploring the Frontier: Multimodal Interaction
Demonstrating powerful use cases:
-
Style Transfer: "Make this photorealistic image look like an anime sketch."
-
Object/Subject Tweaks: "Change the building material from concrete to timber."
-
Text Editing: "Change the sign on the building to say 'Library'."
-
Comparing flux kontext dev to traditional inpainting and img2img methods.
Tool Focus: ComfyUI, flux kontext dev.
Hour 3: Image-to-Video with Kling AI
Bringing Architecture to Life
