Learn how to leverage AI tools to accelerate schematic design phases, from concept generation through design development, while maintaining creative ownership and architectural integrity.
Before
Pick a real site you know well. Write a detailed massing prompt that includes site dimensions, program, zoning constraints, and at least two design priorities. Generate options and evaluate which ones you would actually present to a client, noting why the others fail architecturally.
After
AI can produce dozens of massing alternatives in minutes, but the architect's role is to define the constraints, evaluate spatial quality, and select options that serve both the program and the site context.
Tip
Be specific about what you need. The more context you provide, the better the result.
