Themes: Artificial Intelligence / Computational Design
Software: Rhino, Grasshopper, Sketchup
Number of Students: 60
Workshop is full please refer to live stream during and after the workshops
Description:
We dive into the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and architectural design, pushing the boundaries of creative exploration and innovative formation. To create forms and concepts from sketches, prompts, patterns, and scripts, we will use a variety of AI tools and platforms. This is a transformative workshop where we embark on an immersive journey, fueled by the synergy between AI and architectural ingenuity. Guided by ChatGpt, we will unlock the remarkable potential of Playground AI, witnessing the magical transformation of conceptual sketches into tangible forms. Explore design variations and find inspiration through Midjourney, a powerful tool that generates architectural concepts from prompts. Delve into the realm of Rhino Grasshopper and Sketchup Ruby scripting, leveraging ChatGpt’s assistance to generate intricate patterns, customize forms, and execute complex commands effortlessly. Engage in hands-on exercises, create a pavilion space inspired by your local community, and receive valuable feedback to fuel your personal growth. Join us as we redefine the boundaries of architectural innovation, fueled by the harmonious fusion of artificial intelligence and creative design.
