Masterclass 1 – Getting Started

with AI
Powered by Creative Lighting and Proudly Sponsored by

In the first session of our 2025 Archviz Masterclass Series, we explored the transformative
potential of artificial intelligence in architectural visualization. This class focused on
leveraging AI tools, such as Midjourney, to enhance workflows, inspire creativity, and unlock
new possibilities for visual storytelling.

Introduction to AI in Creative
Workflows
The session began with an overview of the evolving role of AI in the creative industries. We
discussed how AI complements human creativity, acting as a collaborative partner rather
than a replacement. Participants were encouraged to view AI as a tool for idea generation,
problem-solving, and efficiency improvement, particularly in the early stages of design and
visualization.

Understanding Midjourney
The class then provided an in-depth introduction to Midjourney, a cutting-edge AI tool for
concept creation:

- Features and Capabilities: Participants learned about Midjourney’s ability to produce

stunning visual concepts, from architectural mood boards to environment explorations.

- Prompt Optimization: Emphasis was placed on crafting precise prompts to guide the AI in
producing relevant and high-quality outputs.

- Practical Applications: Examples demonstrated how Midjourney can accelerate

workflows, spark creativity, and deliver visually compelling results for client presentations
and personal projects.

Integrating AI into Workflows

We discussed strategies for incorporating AI into traditional workflows:
1. Concept Development: Using AI to generate initial ideas and expand creative boundaries.
2. Mood Boards and Inspiration: Quickly assembling visual references to align teams or
communicate with clients.
3. Time-Saving Techniques: Automating repetitive tasks, freeing up time for high-level
design decisions.

Live Demonstration
The live demo showcased step-by-step use of Midjourney to:

- Generate architectural concepts based on prompts.

- Experiment with different styles and environments.

- Create mood boards to inform design decisions.

Key Tips and Insights

- Start Small: Begin experimenting with AI in non-critical stages of your workflow to build
confidence.

- Refine Prompts: Experiment with keywords, descriptors, and styles to achieve the best
results.

- Collaborate with AI: Treat AI as a creative assistant, enhancing your vision without
replacing your expertise.

Conclusion and Next Steps

Masterclass 1 provided a comprehensive introduction to AI in Archviz, equipping participants
with the tools and knowledge to begin integrating AI into their creative workflows.

Practice Assignment: Use Midjourney to create a mood board for an architectural concept.
Focus on exploring how light, material, and color interact in your designs.

Join us for Masterclass 2 – Composition & Storytelling on February 20, 2025, where we
will dive deeper into crafting emotional, cinematic visuals that captivate and inspire.
