Overview
An experimental workflow combining stakeholder input with AI models to generate architectural visualizations
Context
Traditional architectural visualization methods often fail to effectively incorporate stakeholder feedback in early design stages.
Objectives
- Develop an AI-driven visualization pipeline
- Integrate stakeholder feedback directly into the visualization process
- Create more contextually aware architectural renders
Methodology
Multi-stage AI pipeline integrating stakeholder feedback with various AI models for architectural visualization

Outputs
- Stakeholder preferences
- Site requirements
Tools
- Custom React form
AI Prompt Engineering
Processing survey data into structured prompts for image generation


Inputs
- Survey responses
