AI and traditional design methodologies

The rapid rise of GenAI has highlighted a disconnect between technological development and the design industries, especially education. AI-generated imagery has flooded the market and media, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine brilliance and mere digital fabrications, while often over-promoting unrealistic, fantasy architecture. My Archschool’s Game Design course addresses this gap by integrating architectural models into interactive game environments. This creates a platform where students can showcase designs through virtual reality and simulations.

Utilizing Unreal Engine for Fortnite – a recognized tool freely available for education – My Archischool’s program enables students to input their architectural models into the Fortnite editor. This hands-on approach allows aspiring creatives to explore designs through virtual spaces, conduct design reviews, and realize engaging activities within their built environments. This multi-disciplined approach transforms 3D design into 4D experiences, improving design skills and providing a practical understanding of spatial intelligence – a crucial component of AI.

students can design and build their own avatars and also 3D print them
