D5 Lite: AI as a Design Tool | BIM Pure Live 113

Download the free D5 mega-guide by BIM Pure: https://mailchi.mp/d5render/bim-pure-... In the analog era, physical models and drawings were used as design tools to explore architectural ideas. Renderings later turned images primarily into presentation tools, since they were too time-consuming to use in the design process. Is the AI era pushing us back toward using renderings as design tools? 🎙️ Jessica Brams-Miller is the Design Systems Lead at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, where she leads the firm’s approach to BIM, visualization, computational design, and AI. 🎙️ Jeff Espinoza is a Design Technology Consultant at D5 Render. Before joining D5, he worked as a designer at Gensler. In this episode, you'll learn: ⚫ The evolution from analog design tools to renders and AI ⚫ Using AI-generated images for design, not just presentation ⚫ What D5 Lite is and how to use it to explore design ⚫ How D5 & D5 Lite is being tested and integrated at RAMSA Thanks to D5 Render for sponsoring this episode of BIM Pure Live.
