## About this course

Reverse Modeling: AI-Inspired Architecture is a course that teaches architects to transform AI-generated concepts into precise 3D models and refined visualizations using Midjourney, Rhino SubD, and Krea. Students generate architectural concepts in Midjourney, reverse-engineer that imagery into detailed SubD models in Rhino with iterative MIRO board feedback, then render and refine outputs with Krea and Nano Banana to balance AI aesthetics with human design decisions. The course is Beginner level and results in a buildable, detailed 3D architectural model.

## What you'll learn

- Generate and explore architectural concepts using AI-driven imagery.

- Reverse-engineer AI concepts into detailed 3D models using Rhino SubD.

- Create high-quality visualizations with _Krea_, integrating AI and human design thinking.

- Apply a structured workflow from ideation to execution, blending AI creativity with human precision.

- Critically evaluate AI outputs and translate them into actionable architectural designs.

## Methodology

The workshop follows a step-by-step, practice-driven approach, emphasizing active learning and iterative feedback:



### 1. AI Ideation (MidJourney)





- Participants generate a variety of architectural concepts using AI prompts.

- Exploration and experimentation are documented via a shared MIRO board, enabling collaborative feedback.



### 2. Reverse Engineering into 3D (Rhino SubD)





- AI-generated imagery is analyzed and translated into precise 3D models.

- Emphasis on SubD modeling techniques to capture organic and complex forms.

- Continuous feedback is provided through MIRO reviews to refine designs in real time.



### 3. Visualization & Refinement (Krea / Gemini Studio)





- Models are rendered and enhanced using Nano Banano (Krea / Gemini Studio) for high-quality architectural visualization.

- Participants learn to balance AI aesthetics with human design decisions.

- Iterative review ensures designs evolve with both technical accuracy and creative vision.




The methodology is interactive, blending lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, with constant instructor feedback to guide participants from concept to fully realized 3D visualizations.

## FAQ

### Which software and AI tools are used in this course?
The course uses Midjourney for AI concept generation, Rhino SubD for reverse-engineering those concepts into 3D models, and Krea.AI together with Nano Banana for final visualization and refinement.

### What does the curriculum cover?
The workflow moves through three stages: AI ideation in Midjourney with collaborative feedback on a shared MIRO board, reverse-engineering that imagery into precise SubD models in Rhino, and rendering and refining those models with Krea and Nano Banana.

### Is this course suitable for beginners?
Yes. The course is set at Beginner level and follows a step-by-step, practice-driven approach with constant instructor feedback, so no prior AI or advanced Rhino experience is required.

### What will I produce by the end of the course?
A buildable, detailed 3D architectural model that reverse-engineers an AI-generated concept, complete with a refined, presentation-ready visualization.
