ON-DEMAND CPD: 1 Formal CPD Point

This presentation provides an overview of the fundamentals of AI-driven visualisation tools and offers guidance on how to evaluate and compare some of the leading tools available today. Brice suggests possible workflows for integrating AI into architectural workflows for conceptual designs and client presentations and highlights some of the risks and considerations when using these tools.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

Understand the fundamentals of AI-driven visualisation tools such as Chat GPT, Midjourney , Flux, and ComfyUI

Evaluate and compare different AI visualisation tools based on image quality, cost, ease of use, and intellectual property rights

Integrate AI into architectural workflows for conceptual design and client presentations

Explain the role of AI in different architectural design stages, from precedent research to final rendering

Apply knowledge of building science, technology, and environmental factors when using AI for architectural visualisation

Speaker

BRICE PANNETIER

Brice Pannetier is a computational designer and educator specialising in AI-driven visualisation, automation, and computational workflows for architecture. Based in Australia, he focuses on integrating artificial intelligence into architectural design processes to enhance efficiency, creativity, and sustainability. Brice holds a Master’s degree in Architecture (Architecte Diplomé d'État) from ENSAN (France) and specialised in digital design at ABK Stuttgart (Germany). With expertise in Parametric and generative design, he has developed AI-assisted workflows that optimise architectural visualisation and design iteration. Before founding his own practice, Brice worked at Philippe Rahm Architectes in Paris, contributing to the climate-responsive Jade Eco Park in Taichung, Taiwan. He later joined Populous, where he became Associate and Computational Lead, overseeing Computational Design strategies across major projects in the APAC region.
