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 · 6 July
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 · 13 July

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 · 13 July
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 · 20 July
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 · 20 July
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 · 27 July
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.

Agent Build
This course is where it starts, not where it ends. For those who are ready to go further, the AI Institute works directly with estate agency teams to build automations  - listing workflows, tenant screening pipelines, client communication sequences  - and hands them back through targeted training so your team can run and maintain them without depending on outside support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Photoshop, Revit or other design tools?
No. Nano Banana works from text prompts, sketches and reference photos. We cover where it sits alongside Photoshop or Revit if you do use them.
Will the visuals work for client meetings?
Yes, for concept and option-development work. We show what Nano Banana does well and where you still need traditional rendering.
How does it fit with my existing studio software?
Nano Banana sits at the start of the design process. Outputs feed into Revit, Rhino and Photoshop downstream.
Can I use my own project images?
Bring sketches, photos and references between modules. Live sessions use neutral examples to keep the cohort focused on technique.
Will sessions be recorded?
Yes. All live sessions are recorded and available to access for 90 days after the course finishes, so you can revisit any section at your own pace.
Suitable for landscape, interior or planning consultants?
Yes. Default examples are architectural but the techniques transfer.
