Live Workshop | How to Start Using AI as an Architect in 2026

ACADEMY, WORKSHOP
13 feb 2026
AI is increasingly shaping the way architects design, yet many still struggle with where to begin or how to apply it effectively. This live workshop focuses on building a clear mental model of how AI fits into architectural workflows. Using a single project as a reference, we explore how AI can support creative thinking, accelerate design exploration, and make the overall process more flexible and efficient.
In “Live Workshop | How to Start Using AI as an Architect in 2026” by Rendair Academy, you will see how AI can be integrated into an architectural project from early concepts through final renders and animations. Rather than focusing on isolated tools, the workshop emphasizes core ideas and decision-making, so you walk away with a practical understanding of how to apply AI confidently in your own work.

Why Join This Workshop
Architectural visualization is evolving at an unprecedented pace. New AI models, tools, and workflows are emerging constantly, reshaping how architects design and present their ideas. This live workshop is designed to help you navigate that shift and apply these changes directly to a real architectural project.
During the session, you will discover how to integrate AI into your everyday workflow to work faster, communicate design intent more clearly, and stay confident while using the latest technologies. Everything is demonstrated and practiced inside Rendair, so what you learn can be applied immediately to your own projects.
This is a hands-on, interactive workshop where we explore a complete project from start to finish, led by Quim Civit and shaped by the architects who join live.
The workshop is free for all active Rendair AI subscribers.
What We Will Learn Together
We will take one project and guide it from the very beginning to the final result. During the workshop, we will explore:
From ideas to first images
We start with simple text descriptions and turn them into concept visuals. This is perfect for early stage design.
From sketch or 3D elevation to full render
We bring a basic drawing or massing model into Rendair and transform it into a clear architectural render.
Editing to fix mistakes
We improve the image together. Change materials, adjust lighting, add or remove objects and refine details.
Creating variations
We explore alternative moods, materials and styles to help you compare ideas and choose the best direction.
Upscaling for final use
We prepare a clean and sharp image for presentations, client meetings or your portfolio.
Turning the image into video
We finish by creating smooth and simple animations based on the final render. Throughout the session you can follow along, watch, ask questions and share your results.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is designed for anyone working with architectural visuals who wants to use AI in a practical and realistic way:
Architects and interior designers exploring AI-assisted workflows
Students who want to learn faster and adopt modern design methods
3D artists and visual creators looking to expand their toolset
Real estate and marketing professionals working with architectural imagery
Anyone interested in integrating AI into their day-to-day design process
The session is friendly to all experience levels, from beginners to intermediate users.

About Quim
Quim Civit is an architect based in Barcelona and the Co Founder of Rendair. He has been running his own studio for more than 10 years and has worked on projects across Europe, West Africa and South America, designing over 1,000 housing units throughout his career.
In 2023, he co founded Rendair with his co-founder to build tools that support architects in their day to day work. Their focus has always been on making the early design stages faster, clearer and more intuitive through AI. Rendair was created to help architects explore ideas, generate images quickly and edit visuals with ease, all inside one simple platform.
In this workshop, Quim shares the same practical workflows he uses in his own projects, showing how AI can become a natural part of the design process.
