GPT Astra points towards a fundamentally different way of working with architectural software, where instead of manually executing every modelling operation, architects can increasingly describe, direct and iterate through AI.

In this live workshop, Oliver Thomas will share what he has learned through hands-on experimentation with Astra as an architect.

Rather than a polished software demo, this is a practical exploration of what is possible right now.

What we will cover

• Getting started with GPT Astra — what it is, how it works and what makes it different.
• Connecting Astra to architectural tools — understanding how to get Astra working with the software we already use.
• Blender + Astra — creating and manipulating geometry through AI-driven workflows.
• Rhino + Astra — exploring architectural modelling and design development.
• Revit + Astra — testing how Astra can interact with BIM and technical architectural workflows.
• Real architectural experiments — examples, successes, limitations and lessons from Oliver's own testing.
• The future of architectural production — what happens as AI becomes capable of operating the tools architects use every day?
• Live Q&A + discussion — ask questions and discuss what these workflows could mean for individual architects and architectural practices.

The goal is not simply to teach you a new AI tool. It's to give you a practical understanding of where this technology is today, how you can start experimenting with it yourself, and where architectural workflows could be heading next
