Intelligent Architecture Rendering Course

IA = Intelligent Architecture Rendering

AI Rendering Course by ETC for Architects and Interior Designers

Duration: 16 Hours

Fees: $380

A studio-focused training program that combines AI technologies—including large language models (LLMs), image generation, and multimodal tools—with CAD/BIM workflows. Participants learn to accelerate concept development, intelligent rendering, cinematic visualization, and professional presentation design.

Teaching Methodology: Hands-on

Course Schedule: Schedule

Course Objective

Equip architecture students and professionals with a practical, studio-ready workflow that fuses AI models (text, image, and multimodal) with conventional CAD/BIM tools to accelerate ideation, rendering, and presentation. By the end, participants will: ideate with LLMs, render intelligently with leading platforms, create cinematic visuals from stills, optimize materials and lighting, generate assets for 3D workflows, and produce curated presentation boards—ethically and responsibly.
