Join us for a two-day workshop that invites architects, designers, and creatives to explore the revolutionary integration of AI in architectural design.
Immerse yourself in an experience where Midjourney becomes your creative ally, pushing the boundaries of innovation and imagination. Participants will engage in a thrilling competition to design a Pavilion for the African Union to promote their 2030 Agenda, capturing the essence of its values, beliefs and objectives for a digitally transformed continent. Discover how AI can elevate your design process, expand your creative vision, and boost your productivity like never before.
Through a series of lectures and case studies presented by MVRDV Architect Cosimo Scotucci, attendees will explore innovative methodologies for interpreting briefs and expanding their creative visions. This workshop offers more than just an educational experience; it’s an opportunity to gain fresh insights into architecture and reimagine the future by harnessing the power of AI.
Design a Pavilion for the African Union promoting the 2030 Agenda for a Digitally Transformed Continent.
Assignment:
Over the 8-hour workshop, participants will simulate a competition to design a pavilion for a camping pod. Attendees will be given a project brief to challenge their creativity, a template to guide their designs, and specific submission details to follow. This practical exercise is designed to mirror real-world competition scenarios, providing participants with an understanding of how to critically engage with and challenge the brief through AI.
As part of this immersive experience, we will incorporate the use of GPT to extrapolate information from the brief, focusing on key aspects such as Designer Vocabulary, the creation of a Words Matrix, and Prompt Engineering. The initial exploration done with Midjourney will guide participants through the innovative process of utilizing AI in design thinking and execution. This inclusion aims to enhance participants’ ability to decode and enrich the brief, leveraging AI’s capabilities to expand their creative and analytical skills in a competitive setting.
