What you'll learn

This course takes spatial design professionals from one-off image generation to a working part of studio practice, whether you're an architect, interior designer, space planner, urban planner, or landscape architect.

Practical and hands-on, built around concept iteration, option development and client visuals. You leave with techniques you can apply to live projects the same week.

  • Generate and compare design options for massing, form and material in minutes
  • Explore precedents, planning context and materials visually
  • Build repeatable workflows for concept iteration and client visuals
  • Refine sketches, photos and rough prompts into clear design intent
  • Communicate ideas to clients, planners and consultants
  • Place Nano Banana alongside Revit, Rhino and Photoshop in your workflow

Who it's for

For architect, interior designer, space planner, urban planner, or landscape architect. No technical background required.

Architects
You are spending too much time getting from concept to client-ready visuals. This course shows you how AI accelerates your design workflow so you can produce high-quality outputs faster, without any technical AI background needed.
Interior Designers and Space Planners
You need to communicate your vision clearly and quickly to clients. This course shows you how AI brings your concepts to life faster, from mood boards to presentation-ready visuals, without any technical AI background needed.
Urban Planners and Landscape Architects
You are working across complex projects with a lot of stakeholders to keep aligned. This course shows you how AI helps you produce clearer visuals, faster documentation, and more compelling presentations without the manual effort.

Course structure

Pre-course · 25 September, 12pm - 1pm
Tech check

An optional half-hour session to ensure you can access the right tools and start the course confident that everything will work as it should.

Module 1 · 2 October, 12pm - 2pm
Generate and compare design options

Use Nano Banana to test massing, form and material ideas in minutes. You produce credible visual options without the time cost of full 3D modelling.

  • Generate multiple options from a single brief
  • Compare massing, form and material directions side by side
  • Test ideas at concept stage without 3D set-up time
  • Apply your studio's visual language to early outputs
  • Three credible massing options for a mixed-use site in one session

Module 2 · 2 October, 12pm - 2pm
Explore precedents and planning context visually

Investigate precedents, materials and spatial references with visual evidence rather than guesswork. The same outputs support design rationale documents.

  • Pull together visual precedents for materials and detailing
  • Sense-check planning context, scale and adjacencies
  • Build references for design rationale documents
  • Compare your scheme against precedents during reviews
  • A precedent board for a planning pre-application meeting'

Module 3 · 9 October, 12pm - 2pm
Build repeatable concept-to-client workflows

Turn one-off image generation into reliable studio practice. The same patterns work across projects and team members.

  • Set up reusable prompt patterns for concept iteration
  • Standardise client visual production across projects
  • Produce early-stage planning material consistently
  • Embed Nano Banana alongside Revit, Rhino and Photoshop
  • A repeatable workflow for client option-review packs

Module 4 · 9 October, 12pm - 2pm
Generate, refine and explain design intent

Translate sketches, photos and simple prompts into communications that work for clients, planners and consultants. Iterate until the message lands.

  • Generate design intent images from sketches and photos
  • Refine outputs through iterative prompting
  • Remove or alter elements in site photos for client communication
  • Diagnose defects from photos with the right terminology
  • A defect report visual where neighbours have raised tree objections

Bonus Session
Nano Banana Hackathon · 16 October, 12pm - 1pm
Included in price
One week after the course, bring your own projects and we'll help turn them into simple, repeatable workflows. Fix and improve your workflows, turn recurring chores into templates, and see how colleagues in different roles are working. You'll leave with one task fully set up and a library of your own prompts — tailored to the way you and your team actually work.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a coding or technical background to take this course?

None at all. Our courses are specifically designed for working professionals, executives, and design teams who want practical AI skills, not a computer science lecture.

  • If you are taking a Copilot course, basic familiarity with standard Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Excel, Outlook) is all you need.
  • For Claude Code, Claude handles the actual coding while you direct it using plain English.
  • For visual or industry-specific paths like Nano Banana or Built Environment, we focus entirely on practical workflows, layout options, and project management—never complex programming.
Is my project and financial data secure, and can I use my own files?

Yes, absolutely. Security and confidentiality are our highest priorities, especially for our AEC and Finance cohorts:

  • Data Privacy: Microsoft Copilot and Claude enterprise plans respect your existing corporate IT permissions. The AI only sees data you are already authorized to access, and your inputs are never used to train public models.
  • Course Work: Live workshop sessions use anonymized dummy data so you can focus entirely on mastering techniques in a safe environment. You will then be given clear frameworks to confidently apply those exact same prompts to your live, proprietary project files between modules.
How is this training different from free courses or generic AI tutorials?

The market is flooded with generic "how to write prompts" videos. Our edge is entirely different:

  • Live, Expert Facilitation: You are learning in real-time alongside an executive-level peer group, guided by practitioners from companies actively deploying AI in the real world.
  • Always Up-to-Date: The second an AI model drops a new feature, we rebuild our exercises. You are getting a cutting-edge playground, not stale theory.
  • Workflow Integration: We don't just teach tools in a vacuum; we show you exactly how they talk to your existing ecosystem - whether that’s integrating Claude with Microsoft 365 or feeding Nano Banana concepts downstream into Revit, Rhino, and Photoshop.
