## About this course

Transforming Architecture: From 3D Models to Ethereal Art focuses on transforming 3D models into captivating visual narratives using AI tools through interactive sessions and hands-on projects.

## What you'll learn

By the end of the course, you will be able to:







- Create intricate 3D models using Grasshopper.

- Generate and enhance 3D models from Midjourney images with AI tools.

- Produce visually striking videos that effectively communicate your architectural vision.

## Methodology

The workshop will include interactive sessions, hands-on exercises, and collaborative projects. Students will work individually and in pairs on their final projects. Key workflows will consist of:







- **Modeling in Grasshopper:** Creating 3D models.

- **Midjourney Integration:** Generating images from scratch and combining them with Grasshopper models.

- **3D Model Creation:** Using Meshy and Hyperhuman to create models from images or prompts.

- **Video Production:** Creating engaging videos with Luma AI and Runway Gen 3.

## FAQ

### What software programs and AI platforms are used in this workshop?
You will use Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D alongside AI tools including Midjourney, Luma AI, Runway Gen-3, and Meshy,

### How are parametric 3D models integrated with AI image generation?
You will build or use pre-prepared 3D models in Grasshopper, which are then combined with Midjourney image generation to refine concepts and establish stylized architectural aesthetics.

### What tools will we use to generate 3D geometry directly from AI imagery?
You will learn to convert AI-generated images into 3D geometry and digital assets using AI-assisted reconstruction platforms like Meshy.

### What video production workflows are taught for presentation and visual storytelling?
You will use video AI platforms including Luma AI and Runway Gen-3 to generate motion renders, cinematic camera movements, and video presentations of your designs.

### What practical final project deliverables will I complete by the end of the workshop?
You will produce an integrated workflow result that includes a parametric 3D model, AI-refined visual renders, an AI-reconstructed 3D asset, and an animated video narrative communicating an ephemeral or ethereal architectural proposal.
