The ATN Sketch to Render Workshop is a hands-on session for architects and designers looking to combine digital sketching and generative AI to develop, test, and communicate ideas more effectively. Led by Radu Axinte, the workshop introduces a clear workflow that moves from structured digital sketches through to high-quality rendered visuals and animations using AI tools.

Participants work from a shared base file, progressing through guided exercises based on real architectural design scenarios. Rather than treating AI as a black box, the workshop focuses on how and when to use AI within the design process, helping participants understand how platforms interpret sketches, why outputs vary, and how to guide results through references, prompts, and graphic control.

This workshop is not about replacing sketching or intuition. It focuses on using AI as a visual collaborator to explore ideas faster, iterate with confidence, and communicate concepts more clearly while maintaining authorship and design intent.

Designed for architects and designers with beginner to intermediate AI knowledge, the workshop prioritises a tool-agnostic workflow over platform-specific techniques, making it particularly valuable for early-stage design teams.

You will learn how to:
• Translate digital sketches into high-quality AI-generated visuals and animations
• Control outputs using prompts, references, and graphic techniques
• Use AI to accelerate early-stage design exploration and communication

All live sessions are supported by on-demand video content, allowing participants to revisit lessons and workflows after enrolment.
