- The course provides an advanced ecosystem using ComfyUI as the core parametric engine.
- You will learn to deploy cutting-edge diffusion and motion models, including Flux.1, Flux.2 (Klein 9b), Stable Diffusion 1.5, and SDXL.
- Additionally, you will master specialized production tools such as Nano Banana Pro, LTX 2.3, Seedance 2.0, and Google Omni 4, all supported by a custom-built Miro Virtual Canvas and advanced Claude Skills for prompt automation.
Frequently asked questions
What AI software, models, and tools will I learn during the course?
Do I need a powerful computer to run these advanced AI models?
- No. Running massive 32-billion-parameter models like Flux.2 locally requires hardware that very few professionals own.
- To solve this, the course teaches you how to use Comfy Cloud to rent a cloud-based supercomputer equipped with 96GB of VRAM for approximately $20 to $35 USD per month. This allows you to generate high-end architecture renders at maximum speed from any basic laptop.
Is this course suitable for beginners?
- The course is designed to serve both profiles perfectly. Beginners can immediately generate high-level results by utilizing our pre-configured, drag-and-drop workflow templates directly from the Miro Virtual Canvas without needing to understand complex node architectures initially.
- As the course progresses, you will learn the underlying technical logic to modify, troubleshoot, and build your own custom node networks at your own pace.
Does the course cover video animation and cinematic motion tools?
- Yes. Module 4 focuses on generating fluid cinematic sequences using top-tier video models like LTX 2.3 and Seedance 2.0.
- You will gain access to nearly 20 specialized video workflows on Miro and master video frame interpolation nodes, which double your frame rate to produce ultra-smooth, slow-motion animations for your professional presentations.
Can I extract 3D geometry back into my CAD software from the AI-generated concepts?
Yes, you will learn 9 specific methods to prepare images so depth-interpretation models don’t get confused. Using Comfy Cloud and Nano Banana Pro, you can convert your conceptual renders into rough spatial models and export them in standard industry formats like .obj, .stl, or .gbl straight back into Rhino.
Who will support me if I face technical difficulties during the course?
- You have immediate 24/7 technical assistance. In Module 1, you will configure two localized LLM assistants: a Comfy Expert for troubleshooting node configurations and a Prompt Coach for writing optimized JSON prompts.
- If you are unable to resolve your issue, you can contact us directly at info@archademy.ai. Please note that technical AI Course queries may require additional time to be answered, as they will be forwarded to the instructors to address them with the highest level of accuracy.
What will my individual digital certificate accredit upon completing the program?
You will receive an official digital certificate designed to boost your CV and serve as a direct Proof of Work on LinkedIn. Its scope depends on your team’s participation in the international competition:
-
If your team submits a competition proposal: Your certificate will accredit both your training in advanced parametric environments (ComfyUI and Flux.2) and your practical resolution of the architectural challenge. It will also officially display any jury recognition earned, such as a podium prize, the special Gaudí award, an honorable mention, or finalist status.
-
If your team chooses not to submit a proposal: You will receive a certificate accrediting exclusively the completion of the advanced course in ComfyUI and Flux.2.
Is the competition limited only to students or professionals?
Our competitions are open to everyone over 18 years old who wishes to showcase their talent. Both students and professionals from any creative discipline (architects, interior designers, engineers, artists) are welcome to participate.
Can I participate individually?
Teams can consist of 1 to 4 participants, making individual participation completely valid.
Can I register today and modify my team members later?
Yes. You can add, remove, or change the names and details of your team members at any point prior to submission. You can manage this instantly through the Participant Area on our website.
What does the special "Fundación Antoni Gaudí" prize consist of?
- This special $1.000 USD prize rewards excellence in Furniture and Integrated Microarchitecture.
- Participation in this special award is completely optional, independent of the main competition, and does not affect its results.
- Learn more about it in the Competition Briefing.
What are the evaluation criteria used by the jury?
The jury will evaluate proposals using a balanced, 100-point matrix split into 6 specific pillars:
- Architectural quality and Program application: 20/100 Points.
- Plaza design and Urban context: 20/100 Points.
- Gaudi’s principles and logic: 20/100 Points.
- AI integration and Spatial coherence: 20/100 Points.
- Sustainability and Passive Strategies: 10/100 Points.
- Visual Communication & Presentation: 10/100 Points.
What is the deadline for submitting the final proposal?
The submission platform closes at 23:59 PDT (UTC-7) on the date indicated on the website. Submissions sent late or outside the designated section of the Participants Area will not be accepted under any circumstances.
What materials must be submitted, and what is the accepted language?
- You must submit exactly two (2) digital files through the Participant Area:
- The A1 Board: One (1) single A1 board (594×841 mm), horizontal or vertical, in JPEG/JPG format (max. 10 MB), showing your designs and workflows. Your order number must be placed in the bottom-right corner.
- The A4 Board (optional): One (1) A4 Board for participants who wish to opt for the Antoni Gaudí Foundation Special Design Award.
- Both files must be named strictly with your order number (e.g., 12345.jpg and 12345_design.pdf). No personal names or studio logos are allowed to guarantee absolute anonymity.
What should I receive immediately after completing my registration?
You will automatically receive two emails:
-
Payment Confirmation Email: Sent exclusively to the email address provided during checkout. It contains your unique Order Number, which acts as your mandatory anonymous identifier for submission.
-
Welcome Email: Sent to the email address provided at checkout, as well as to all team members listed in the “Team” section of the Participant Area. This email includes direct links and credentials to access the platform and start the course.
I cannot find my Order Number. What should I do?
It’s a 5-digit number included in the payment confirmation email received upon payment, and it will be visible in the Participants Area for all team members.
I am having trouble completing the payment. What options do I have?
