๐Ÿ”™ In Case You Missed It: Workshop Recaps

โ˜•๏ธ Espresso Workshop #6: AI Avatar

Last Wednesday, we tackled the "camera-shy" bottleneck. We walked through workflows for creating believable AI avatars with synced speech and cloned voices. The takeaway? You can now maintain a consistent video presence without a production teamโ€”perfect for pitches, content creation, and scaling your personal brand.

 


๐Ÿ™๏ธ Reimagining Choi Hung Estate (Collaboration with Kongcept)
We partnered with Kongcept (ๆˆ‘ๆธฏ) for a unique cross-disciplinary session blending heritage research with generative design. Participants deconstructed the stories behind Choi Hung Estate and used AI tools to visualize its potential future.

 

During this session, we utilized xFigura, an AI-powered sandbox for architectural ideation. It allowed us to rapidly test 3D forms and styles in real-time.

๐Ÿ‘‰Watch it here if you missed it.


๐ŸŽ Community Perk: xFigura

As showcased in our Choi Hung Estate workshop, xFigura is a powerful web-based tool that combines real-time collaboration with generative AI models (like text-to-3D and image-to-3D). It is designed to speed up early-stage design exploration.

As a gift to our community, we are offering an exclusive discount code for you to get started:

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Media Feature: RTHK Interview

Adeline Chan on AI & Sustainability

Our Co-Founder, Adeline Chan, was recently featured on RTHK to discuss a pivotal topic: How AI and technology can support sustainable design.

The conversation explored how data-driven tools are not just optimizing efficiency but are becoming essential for addressing environmental challenges in urban planning.
