Locate AI in a project's workflow

AI tools keep multiplying, but they do not all serve the same stages of a project. This lesson helps you map your projects' visualization and analysis workflow, place each family of tools in it and identify the moments when the 3D model and your judgment must remain the reference, especially for compliance.

Lesson objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to map a project's visualization and analysis workflow, place the families of AI tools in it, and identify the steps where the 3D model and your judgment remain the reference, especially for compliance.

Topics covered

  • AI in architecture
  • visualization workflow
  • AI tools for architects
  • 3D model

Where it fits

Where AI fits in the architectural workflow

Where does AI add value, and where do the 3D model and the architect remain the reference?

  1. Locate AI in a project's workflow (this lesson)

What you will learn in the course

This lesson is part of the course Bring AI into architectural visualization

  • Identify, for a given project, the steps where AI speeds up visual production or analysis, and those where the 3D model and the architect's judgment remain the reference, including for regulatory compliance.
  • Generate façade or mood variations from a 3D view with a built-in tool or an image model, while controlling fidelity to the project (structured prompt, influence, masks, references), then choose a rendering engine and AI post-production according to the deliverable and the license.
  • Run a workflow of mesh export, AI material creation and re-import into a rendering engine, and diagnose a faulty PBR material.
  • Assess the risks of an AI-assisted visual (usage rights, copyright protection, confidentiality of 3D models, transparency towards the client and the public) and write the corresponding usage rules.
  • Select a tool chain suited to a deliverable (competition, design stages, marketing, renovation, planning application) and justify it by fidelity, lead time, quality, license cost and risk.
