From Concept to Visualization: Generative AI for Architectural Design

About the Workshop

Explore how generative AI can transform the way design ideas are developed, communicated, and refined. This session will demonstrate how tools like RunDiffusion can rapidly convert early concepts and annotations into compelling visualizations, renderings, and animated story-telling experiences. We'll also cover practical workflows for image editing, iterative design exploration, prompt development, and integrating existing workflow and content organization and collaboration through third-party plugin supports. Attendees will gain hands-on insight into integrating AI into everyday design processes while maintaining creative control and design intent.
