## About this course

“Synthetic Vernacular using AI 2.0: Algorithms to Adobe” is a transformative workshop blending generative AI with architectural design.

## What you'll learn

- Generative AI Techniques: Use Midjourney and Stable Cascade to create images with natural materials.

- Post-Processing Skills: Enhance images using Krea.AI and Photoshop for better quality.

- Depth Animation: Create engaging videos with LeiaPix that showcase depth.

- Vernacular Architecture: Learn about vernacular typologies and how to replicate them with AI.

- AI Workflow Development: Build effective workflows integrating various AI tools for design.

## Methodology

The design style we will use in this studio will primarily relate to arid regions, emphasizing natural building materials such as adobe or stone. Participants can expect to learn about vernacular architectural typologies, their aesthetic finishes, and how they can be replicated with the help of AI text-to-image tools. We will use the Midjourney image generator from an intermediary level and Stability AI’s Stable Cascade, LeiaPix depth animation tool, Krea.ai image upscaler, and Photoshop’s Generative Fill tool.





- The workshop covers an intermediary workflow for AI-enabled tools. Students can expect to learn how to:

- Use Midjourney & Stable Cascade’s text-to-image tools to generate consistent results incorporating natural building materials such as adobe or stone.

- Use KreaAI and Photoshop to upscale, post-process, and refine results.

- Use LeiaPix to create captivating videos with depth maps.

## Requirements

- Stability AI: Stable Cascade (Recommended, Free to use)
