By the end, you’ll be able to

Understand what AI and ML really are — and aim them where they pay, never where they bite.
Generate concept imagery, mood boards and renders that hold up in front of a client.
Use AI floor-plan, space-planning and feasibility tools without trusting them blindly.
Put language AI to work on specs, BOQs, reports and a studio knowledge assistant.
Navigate BIM/performance ML, the business of an AI-augmented studio, and the ethics and IP — in India.

What AI & ML actually are — for a designer

Strip away the hype and the jargon, and there's one simple idea underneath. Once you see it, every tool in this course makes sense.

Module 0 · Ground Rules

3 live

Before the tools: what AI and ML actually are in plain language, what they genuinely can and can't do for a designer, and where they belong in a real practice.

Module 1 · AI & ML Foundations

4 live

A designer-friendly look under the hood: how generative models actually work, why training data and bias matter, prompting as a craft, and the 2026 toolkit.

Module 2 · Generative Imagery I — Concept & Mood

4 live

Text-to-image for architecture and interiors: the engines, prompt craft, mood boards, and exploring materials and finishes at the speed of thought.

Mastery check

Module 3 · Generative Imagery II — Control & Refinement

4 live

From lucky pictures to controllable ones: keeping your own geometry with img2img and ControlNet, sketch-to-render, recolour and staging, and clean upscales.

Mastery check

Module 4 · AI in the Rendering Pipeline

4 live

Plugging AI into how you already work: real-time AI rendering, the SketchUp/Rhino/Revit plugins, fast iteration loops, and turning an AI image into a deliverable.

Mastery check

Module 5 · Generative Design & Space Planning

4 live

AI that proposes layouts, not just pictures: floor-plan generators, optioneering and optimization, parametric design with ML, and site/massing/feasibility.

Mastery check

Module 6 · Language AI in Practice

4 live

The least flashy, highest-ROI AI in a studio: drafting specs, reports and client comms, checking BOQs and codes, and building an assistant over your own knowledge.

Mastery check

Module 7 · Data, BIM & Performance ML

4 live

Where ML meets the building itself: predicting energy, daylight and cost; computer vision on site; point clouds and scan-to-BIM; and automated quantities and QA.

Mastery check

Module 8 · The AI-Augmented Studio

4 live

Running a practice that uses AI well: integrating it into the workflow, pricing the work, upskilling the team and the new roles, and keeping client trust.

Mastery check

Module 9 · Ethics, IP, Risk & the Future

5 live

The grown-up questions: who owns an AI image in India, what you can and can't feed a model, professional liability and authorship, and where this all goes — ending in a capstone.
