A three-level AI learning path
Choose a level that matches your experience. Each level includes a practical project using the tools you work with.
L1
Tool Literacy
For architects and students new to AI
- AI tools for architecture: what each category is useful for
- Visualization basics: sketch-to-render with Archly
- Working with AI assistants: briefs, reports, research
- Limits and honesty: what AI must not decide
L2
Workflow Building
For designers and teams already using AI tools ad hoc
- Mapping your workflow and finding the real bottlenecks
- Prompt libraries and repeatable workflows
- From a Rhino or Revit model to a presentation
- Quality control: review loops for AI output
L3
Agents & Automation
For offices ready to run their own systems
- Agent fundamentals: delegation, rules, guardrails
- Your office archive as a searchable knowledge base
- Automating recurring work: documentation, checks, reporting
- Running and maintaining the system in-house
This program runs live in small groups. Cohort dates are confirmed according to demand.
On-Site Workshops
Work through your own projects with guided exercises in the software your team uses.
Explore the scope
- 1-3 days of practical sessions
- Built around the software you use
- Work on your own project
AI Integration
Develop a focused AI pilot with your team, from local models to project archive search or agent workflows. Set the scope around your tools, data and a task you want to improve.
Explore the scope
- Local model setup
- Project archive search
- Agent workflow prototyping
Workflow Automation
Choose a repetitive task in BIM, Grasshopper or project documentation, then develop a script that makes it easier to repeat and review.
Explore the scope
- BIM automation scripts
