Illuminate and Innovate: A Workflow Revolution with AI

This session demystifies AI tools and their practical applications in interior architecture & lighting design, providing actionable knowledge to enhance daily practice. Through live demonstrations and case studies, participants will discover how AI streamlines research, accelerates visualization, and augments creative decision-making. Attendees will learn workflows integrating ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion into existing processes, covering techniques for analyzing standards, generating concepts, and creating visualizations that let designers focus on creative problem-solving. This presentation demonstrates how AI serves as a collaborator rather than a replacement for expertise. Practical guidance on prompt engineering and model selection enables firms of any size to adopt AI effectively. Participants will explore technologies like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), expanding their perspective on the future of design.
