# Gemini courses

> **PAACADEMY provides online Gemini AI courses for architects, teaching how to utilize this multimodal AI model to reason across text and images simultaneously for design research and concept development.**

Gemini is Google's multimodal AI model, capable of processing and reasoning across text, images, audio, and code within a single system. For architects, its multimodal nature distinguishes it from text-only language models: Gemini can analyze a reference image and generate text descriptions of its spatial logic, evaluate a design against written criteria, or reason across a combination of visual and textual inputs simultaneously.

At PAACADEMY, Gemini is an integral part of modern AI workflows, featured in 5+ courses:

- **Multimodal Brief Analysis:** Analyzing complex competition documents alongside site photos and precedent images in the same prompt window.
- **Concept Development:** Generating descriptive architectural narratives based on early sketch inputs.
- **Workflow Integration:** Working seamlessly alongside tools like Midjourney, Krea AI and Nano Banana to provide the reasoning layer for visual AI workflows.

## FAQ

### What makes Gemini multimodal?

It can interpret and generate across text, images and code in a single conversation, unlike single-mode AI tools.

### What is Gemini AI and how is it used in architecture?

Gemini is Google's multimodal AI model that reasons across text, images, audio and code simultaneously. In architecture, it is used for brief analysis, design research, multimodal concept development and reasoning across written design criteria and visual references in the same session. At PAACADEMY, it is featured in 5+ courses including _AI for Architectural Competitions_, _AI-Powered Interior Design in Architecture 2.0_ and _The AI-Native Architect_.

### How does Gemini differ from ChatGPT in architectural workflows?

Both Gemini and ChatGPT are large language models used for text-based reasoning, research and design thinking. Gemini's key distinction is its multimodal capability. It can process and reason across images and text together in a single session, allowing architects to analyze visual references alongside written briefs. ChatGPT operates primarily in text, though it also has image understanding in its latest versions. At PAACADEMY, both appear in the same competition course and are taught for complementary use cases.

### Which PAACADEMY courses use Gemini AI?

Gemini is used in _AI for Architectural Competitions: From Brief to Submission_ by Mohamed Fendi; _AI-Powered Interior Design in Architecture 2.0_ by Naomi Samir; and _The AI-Native Architect_ by Amir Hossein Noori. Across these courses, Gemini contributes to brief analysis, concept research, interior design workflows and multimodal AI-native design practice respectively.
