AI for Interior Design:
Unleashing Creativity
In this intensive workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn hands-on how to start using AI tools to develop interior design projects more quickly, accurately, and creatively.
The revolution that AI is bringing to the architecture market is even greater than the advent of the digital age when computers replaced drafting tables. Just as computers did not replace the work of architects, AI will not either. However, a professional who masters the use of AI will certainly replace one who does not.
There is an abundance of AI tools being used to streamline repetitive processes, build concepts, and visualize ideas, providing a solid foundation for the decision-making process of architects and designers. But how do you choose the right tool? Have you ever tried using AI in your projects, and the results were not what you expected? Do you feel that AI does not understand your commands?
In this workshop, we will practically show you which tools are best to achieve satisfactory results in images, renderings, and videos and the good approach to communicate with AI. By the end of the class, you will be ready to start revolutionizing your interior design process with AI.
Workshop Overview
- A Fully Live and Interactive Workshop.
- Focused on practical applications and immediate results.
- Designed especially for interior designers.
Why it is important:
- Competitiveness: The interior design market is constantly evolving, and integrating AI into your projects is not just an advantage but a necessity to stay competitive.

- Productivity: When you use AI efficiently, you gain time to focus on what truly matters for the growth of your work.
What will you learn:
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Interior Design:
Discover how AI is transforming the market and how you can benefit from these changes to optimize your projects and processes. We will explore the possibilities, the numerous tools available, and their ethical use.
Image Creation with AI:
Learn to use the best AI tool for image generation, Midjourney. Boost your creativity and present ideas, concepts, and proposals to clients quickly and realistically.
Rendering Techniques with AI:
Transform sketches and project prints into renderings in seconds. I will introduce the existing tools and dive into Prome AI.
Image Enhancement with AI:
Elevate the quality of your images—whether they are AI-created, rendered, or even photos of your projects. I will introduce the existing tools and delve into Krea AI to modify, refine, and enhance scenes with AI.
Video Production with AI:
Introduce dynamic elements into your projects with videos using the Runway tool.
Mentors
Mariana Grunschy
Mariana is a Brazilian architect, multidisciplinary creative director, AI enthusiast, and entrepreneur with nearly 20 years of experience. Her background in graphic design and architecture, including studies at FAUP in Portugal, has provided her with a solid foundation. However, it was her curiosity and immense desire to create new things—enhanced by her giftedness and hyperfocus—that truly shaped her career.
In 2012, she founded Soma Creative Studio, where she primarily develops architectural projects for spaces and immersive experiences that reflect the narrative of the brands that hire her. She also oversees the creative direction of archviz, aiming for realistic and visually impactful design.
The interconnected roles she performs led her, in 2022, to become interested in the Metaverse and subsequently in Generative Artificial Intelligence. It wasn't the technology itself that intrigued her, but the infinite possibilities of connecting AI with architecture and design: more creative images, faster renderings, more precise projects, and AI assistants for office management.
Thus, in early 2024, she decided to share her knowledge and founded her startup, ARQUI.IA, where she pioneers in teaching AI to architects and interior designers. She believes in the transformative power of AI for faster, more creative, and consequently more profitable projects. AI will not replace the architect, but the architect who uses AI will.
