At Light + Intelligent Building Middle East 2026, this forward-thinking workshop explored how AI tools are transforming lighting design workflows and redefining how projects are visualised, documented, and delivered.
The session showcased image and video generation platforms used to create lighting renders, visuals, and animations, alongside trained AI agents that automate lighting schedules, support LEED and Dark Sky compliance, and streamline technical documentation. Participants gained practical, hands-on insight into how AI enhances creativity and improves delivery efficiency.
