A family AI workshop for dreaming new “naturaficial” ecologies into the pavilion

Physicists know it. Astronomers know it. Moby knows it. We are all made of stars. This project, spearheaded by The RMIT Architecture Immersive Futures Lab, invites children (aged 6 to 12) to harness the stardust using text-to-3D AI. 

The gardens become a narrative backdrop and the pavilion itself morphs into a concrete canvas—a space where the kids can let new creatures, architectures, and environments take root. Inspired by issues around climate change, they’ll get a chance to build a deeper ecological awareness and play with ways to re-fuse connections between the natural and built worlds. At the end of the session, each child will get a link to a video and images of their fertile virtual worlds. And their creations will have the chance to keep growing in a shared digital ecosystem.

Each workshop runs over 30 minutes.
