About This Course

Generative AI and Parametric Design for Sustainable Architecture is a 3-day hands-on workshop that teaches participants how to combine AI-driven ideation, parametric modeling, and climate analysis to create sustainable, carbon-conscious building designs.

Participants will learn how AI tools like ChatGPT / Gemini can support architectural concept generation, while Rhino, Grasshopper, and Ladybug Tools enable parametric modeling, site-responsive design, and environmental performance evaluation. The workshop emphasizes early-stage decision-making, carbon-aware planning, and preparation of research-ready or professional architectural workflows.

Aim

The aim of this workshop is to enable participants to integrate Generative AI, parametric modeling, and environmental analysis into sustainable architectural design workflows. It focuses on enhancing early-stage design decisions with AI-assisted concept generation, climate-responsive massing, and carbon-aware planning for professional and research applications.

Workshop Objectives

  • Introduce sustainable architecture principles and climate-responsive design strategies
  • Explain the role of Generative AI in architectural ideation and design assistance
  • Teach parametric design concepts and computational thinking for architecture
  • Guide participants in using Rhino and Grasshopper for parametric massing and form exploration
  • Introduce environmental and climate analysis tools like Ladybug for architectural decision-making
  • Support early-stage carbon-aware design planning using AI-assisted workflows
  • Teach preparation of design-option matrices based on sustainability indicators
  • Enable participants to compare architectural options using AI-generated insights
