About the Workshop:
The new AI tools are transforming lighting design workflows; redefining how we visualize, document, and deliver projects. In this workshop at Light + Intelligent Building Middle East, Faraz Izhar and Anthony Girgis from AE7 will demonstrate how they are integrating AI workflows across their firm’s lighting projects - from the visual storyboarding narratives to project documentation. The session will highlight the power of image and video generation platforms for creating lighting renders, visuals, and animations; alongside trained AI agents that automate lighting schedules, LEED and Dark Sky compliance, and technical documentation. The session will offer a hands-on look at how AI can supercharge creativity, streamline delivery, and reshape the future of lighting design.
This isn’t just theory — it’s a rare opportunity to see, try, learn, and master the very tools that are redefining the profession.
