Comment 'Model' for the access link, prompts and a detailed video 📹
The best results don’t come from a single tool, they come from combining workflows intelligently.
In this experiment, we extracted multiple elevations of the Centre Pompidou and fed them into Hitem3D to reconstruct a 3D model. Instead of relying on one image, layering different views helped improve accuracy, depth, and overall form.
This is where AI starts becoming actually useful for architects — not as a one-click solution, but as part of a hybrid process.
Image → Multiple elevations → AI → 3D → Refine.

Architects:
Before designing the building, analyze the site.
We produce 3D Architectural Site Analysis Diagrams that reveal:
☀️ Sun paths
🌬️ Wind directions
🌇 Shadow behavior
⛰️ Terrain context
🚶 Access and circulation flows
These diagrams translate environmental data into clear spatial intelligence for early design decisions.
Better orientation.
Stronger massing.
Smarter site planning.
Available for projects worldwide.
📩 DM for project inquiries.
Comment ‘AINO’ for this AI tool!
I have created these 3D maps in just 15 minutes. I just asked AI agent to generate these layers and they were pretty accurate.
This is part 4 of my AI tools series where I share useful AI tools for Architects and Designers✨
I personally loved this website to create presentation maps of urban scale maps in short time!
You can also do 15 min neighbourhood/ City Analysis on Aino with smarter site analysis feature!
✨Create all sorts of site analysis maps using AI agents!
🌤️⛈️ generate charts for any location
💡 Just ask questions to refine your analysis with precision.
📍 Share or export your project seamlessly for presentations.
Focus on creativity—let Aino handle the technical details!

This is how site analysis should work in 2026. #architecture #architect archviz
Understanding a city isn’t just about buildings, it’s about reading the layers that shape it.
Streets, blocks, voids and fragments slowly start revealing patterns when you look closely.
This mapping exercise breaks down the urban fabric
from raw structure → density → and finally, the subtle ecological layer that often goes unnoticed.
Because good design doesn’t start with form…
it starts with understanding.
What do you notice first — the density or the voids?
P.S.: I'm getting back at learning GIS, let me know all the tips and tricks!

Title: Getting Elevation Profiles using Google Earth Pro
Description: Elevation profiles are invaluable in architecture for understanding how a site’s terrain behaves before any design work begins. They reveal slopes, level changes, and natural contours that directly influence foundation design, drainage planning, accessibility, and how a building sits within its landscape.

Most architecture students waste time drawing masterplans manually.
Here’s a faster and smarter workflow I use:
🧠 Step-by-step:
1. QGIS (Base Map)
– Extract buildings, roads, green areas
– Work with real data → accuracy matters
2. Simplify
– Clean unnecessary details
– Focus only on what supports your concept
3. Export
– Move your map into Adobe Fresco
4. Adobe Fresco (Design Layer)
– Redraw with intention
– Control line weights, hierarchy, and composition
5. Add your vision
– Don’t just trace reality
– Modify, adapt, propose
⚠️ Common mistake:
People stop at QGIS output.
That’s analysis—not design.
✅ The goal:
Use GIS for structure.
Use drawing for narrative.
Your masterplan should communicate an idea, not just data.
Save this if you’re working on urban or masterplanning projects.
