🌿 The rooftop becomes an active environmental layer, using planted areas for passive insulation and block vaults for shade, rainwater collection, and Venturi-effect ventilation. Exposed steel, block walls, translucent metal grilles, and visible pink-toned services give the project its distinctive industrial material language. 📸 César Béjar

For years, AI in architecture has largely focused on generating concepts and images. This workshop looks at the next step: AI agents that can work directly with Rhino and Revit through Model Context Protocol (MCP), helping architects generate geometry, interrogate BIM models, manage parameters, detect clashes, and export project data. Across a live five-hour workflow, participants will develop a mid-rise mixed-use housing block by translating architectural constraints, including setbacks, unit mixes, cores, heights, and façade modules, into explicit rule sets that AI agents can execute and architects can audit. 🚀 You’ll learn how to: • Set up and configure Rhino MCP and Revit MCP • Turn spatial briefs into parametric rules • Generate rule-checked massing and variants in Rhino • Query and audit BIM models in Revit • Manage family parameters, clash detection, and schedules • Build reliable project context files for AI agents • Benchmark GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5 on identical architectural tasks • Manage token costs, caching, and model security The goal is not to hand design decisions over to AI. It is to establish a workflow where AI handles repetitive execution while the architect defines the rules, directs the process, and evaluates the result. From prompt → to agent → to geometry → to BIM. 📑 Topic: GPT-Astra in Architecture: Agentic AI Modeling with Astra, Fable, Rhino and Revit 📅 Date: October 4th, 2026 🕓 Time: 14:00–19:00 GMT 🧑🏼‍🎓 Total Seats: 50 🛒 15% Discount for Digital Members

✨ A large central opening cuts through the building, creating a visual and physical connection between the street and the Japanese garden behind. Covered with a translucent membrane, this space allows natural light and air to enter while blurring the boundary between architecture and landscape. 📸 toshy129, Edward Caruso

🌿 The church incorporates geothermal heating, underfloor thermal storage, natural stack-effect ventilation, a green roof, rainwater management, and locally sourced timber. The project received a special award from the Bavarian Timber Construction Prize in 2018. 📸 Philipp Heer, Birgit Schlosser, Gerd Schaller

🏘️ Comfort Town reimagines large-scale residential development through a block-based urban model, replacing the typical Soviet micro-district approach with buildings ranging from 2 to 16 stories. Car-free inner courtyards create pedestrian spaces for gathering, play, and greenery, while simple geometric forms, pitched roofs, varied windows, and bold façade colors give each block a distinct identity and transform the development into a vibrant urban neighborhood. 🎓Subscribe to our newsletter: parametric-architecture.com/… 📸 IG @ g_aero.kh, comforttownn

But then you notice the person. One tiny figure standing at the edge of it all, and suddenly the entire image changes. These aren’t just oversized landscapes. They’re experiments in perspective, asking what happens when the environments we usually dominate completely dwarf us instead. 🐜 Find the human in every frame. 🎨 Maxime Velhinho De Araujo 🎓Subscribe to our newsletter: parametric-architecture.com/… #parametricarchitecture #aiart #surrealarchitecture #digitalart #speculativearchitecture

✨ Folded and fractured concrete platforms turn the courtyard into a flexible setting for gathering, conversation, and events. The former service building is wrapped in a metal mesh designed to support climbing plants, introducing a living secondary skin while preserving traces of the existing architecture. 📸 Mohammad Hassan Ettefagh

✨ Set within a valley, the architecture uses light, compression, and release to guide visitors through a spatial narrative that moves from tension toward hope, reflecting the journeys made possible by a single document of passage. 🖊️ Yang Ying Design Studio
