Across four modules, students generate building massing from text prompts in AI Mode, refine area planning, sunlight analysis, and facades in Design Mode, structure live-linked program data and develop full BIM models with room templates and furniture libraries, then produce renders, walkthroughs, and client-ready presentations in Presentation Mode. The course is Beginner level and free to attend. ## What you'll learn - Generate and refine building concepts with prompt engineering. - Move from AI outputs to detailed design in Snaptrude. - Manage data-driven design through Program Mode to BIM Mode. - Create client-ready presentations with renders and walkthroughs. - Streamline workflows to cut effort and boost collaboration. ## Methodology We will adopt a hands-on, project-based learning approach tailored for architects and designers who want to integrate AI seamlessly into their workflows. While each module provides a structured framework, participants will have the freedom to experiment with prompts, design strategies, and presentation techniques that align with their own project interests. The workflow is designed to move progressively from AI-assisted ideation to detailed design, data structuring, BIM integration, and final client presentations. Each step builds on the previous one, ensuring participants develop both confidence and fluency in moving across Snaptrude’s modes. Collaborative discussions, peer feedback, and guided Q&A sessions will reinforce key concepts and best practices. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained practical experience in transforming their work into compelling client-ready deliverables. This methodology not only minimizes repetitive manual tasks but also helps participants focus on what matters most- designing with creativity and precision. ## Curriculum ### Course Content - Introduction + PAACADEMY Updates (09:02) - AI Massing Generation (52:39) - AI-Driven Massing Setup (56:19) - Context & Facade Strategies (49:12) - Presentation Sheet Workflow (35:58) ## FAQ ### What will I learn to create with Snaptrude AI? You’ll learn to generate and refine building concepts from text prompts, develop them into detailed designs, and progress from AI-assisted massing to BIM-ready models. ### What Snaptrude workflows will the workshop cover? You’ll work across Snaptrude’s AI, Design, Program, BIM, and Presentation modes, including area planning, adjacency management, sunlight analysis, data-linked tables, room templates, and furniture libraries. ### Will I learn how to turn my designs into client-ready presentations? Yes, the workshop covers creating renders and walkthroughs, auto-generating diagrams and inspirations, and combining program data, analysis, and design into presentation-ready outputs. ### What practical project workflow will I follow during the workshop? The hands-on workflow progresses from prompt-based concept generation and massing through context and facade strategies, detailed design, BIM integration, and a final presentation sheet. ### Is this workshop suitable if I want to reduce repetitive work in architectural design? Yes, the workshop focuses on integrating AI into architectural workflows to minimize repetitive manual tasks, improve collaboration, and move more efficiently from concept to client-ready deliverables.
