This week-long workshop took place in Reggio Emilia, Italy and was organized as part of the Rigenera Festival. It focuses on developing three proposals for the architectural and functional redevelopment of Capannone 11, a site of significant historical and strategic value currently undergoing a major regeneration and transformation into an Innovation Park. The project uses artificial intelligence as a creative support tool in the design, communication, and final representation phases. AI-based tools are employed to generate images, animations, and videos, initiating a dialogue between the architectural creative process and artificial intelligence. The workshop results were presented on April 12, 2025 during a dedicated conference and published in the official proceedings of the Festival in the journal Architettare, published by the Association of Architects of Reggio Emilia.
