AI Workshop for Architects & Spatial Designers in Morocco

Why generative AI for architects and spatial designers?

Architectural and interior design studios face dual pressures: delivering relentless spatial innovation while managing an overwhelming volume of written documents—design statements, building permit dossiers, technical specifications, and weekly construction logs.

Generative AI provides massive leverage on both fronts: unlocking rapid conceptual exploration during early phases and cutting the time spent on technical administrative paperwork by two-thirds.

This 10-hour in-person workshop (2 days of 5 hours) provides concrete methodologies to integrate AI into your studio's daily workflow without compromising your design integrity or technical rigor.

Detailed Workshop Curriculum (10 hours)

All modules are grounded in real studio project files processed step by step on your laptop.

Day 1 (5 hours): From conceptual brief to architectural statements and moodboards

Module 1: Generative AI in the architectural studio ecosystem

• Mapping AI use cases across project phases: sketch design, schematic design, technical design, and execution.
• Selecting the right models: Claude for comprehensive text and specs, ChatGPT for brief extraction, image tools for aesthetic moodboards.
• Prompting frameworks for expressing spatial relationships, materialities, and programmatic constraints clearly.

Module 2: Drafting architectural statements and competition narratives

• Converting site constraints and functional programs into persuasive architectural narratives.
• Authoring environmental impact notes, bioclimatic strategies, and accessibility statements.
• Articulating contextual integration, structural logic, and material authenticity compellingly.

Module 3: Visual concept exploration and material moodboards

• Rapidly generating moodboards, texture explorations, and spatial palettes for client presentations.
• Iterating concept variations from preliminary massing sketches and volume diagrams.
• Developing disciplined prompt conventions for interior design, facade detailing, and landscape harmony.

Day 2 (5 hours): Technical specifications (CCTP), site supervision, and studio assistants

Module 4: Technical specifications & CCTP authoring

• Structuring technical specifications (CCTP) organized by construction trade (structural, waterproofing, MEP, finishes).
• Critical proofreading of technical documents to detect ambiguities and omissions before tender release.
• Standardizing bills of quantities and contractor bid evaluation matrices.

Module 5: Construction supervision & automated site visit reports

• Instantly transforming audio notes or mobile photos into structured, professional site visit reports.
• Tracking punch list deficiencies and generating automated trade contractor follow-ups.
• Establishing central archives and capturing lessons learned across completed building projects.

Module 6: Designing your private studio AI assistant

• Building a private workspace seeded with your firm's graphic standards, past proposals, and design ethos.
• Integrating local Moroccan urban planning regulations (zoning codes, setback rules, coverage ratios).
• Protecting intellectual property and ensuring project confidentiality at every phase.

Tangible skills gained after 10 hours

By the end of the two-day workshop, your studio will be able to:

• Produce an entire architectural statement in 30 minutes with elevated vocabulary and precision.
• Generate structured technical specification drafts ready for engineer review in record time.
• Finalize an immaculate site visit report in under 10 minutes following each walk-through.
• Explore dozens of material and lighting permutations to enrich competition submissions.
• Free up studio capacity to focus on design excellence and client delivery.
