- ▌ Concept · gaia-computer-technologiesRoute a concept-phase task to the right skill, and show the toolkit menu. Use when an architect says "help me with a concept", "where do I start", "what can this do", or describes a project without naming a skill. Maps the request to the right concept-design skill (design-brief, site-context, programme-schedule, material-palette, space-feel, concept-parti, concept-narrative, render-prompt, precedent-study, or design-critique) and hands off, or lists the menu.
- ▌ Space Feel · gaia-computer-technologiesDescribe the experiential, phenomenological qualities of a space — compression and release, threshold, prospect and refuge, light, sound, temperature, materiality — in the register of Zumthor and Pallasmaa. Use when an architect wants to articulate how a space FEELS, not how it looks, for a brief, competition, client conversation, or their own clarity. Say "how does this space feel", "describe the atmosphere", "the experience of walking through". For a design argument aimed at an audience, use concept-narrative instead.
- ▌ Design Brief · gaia-computer-technologiesTurn a client conversation, loose notes, or a mood description into a structured architectural design brief — programme, site, design intent, materials, sustainability, budget, and open questions. Use when an architect needs to formalise design intent at RIBA Stage 1 / AIA Pre-Design, wants to "write a brief", "structure this client meeting", or turn a vague idea into a project north-star. Pairs with programme-schedule (area validation) and material-palette (material direction).
- ▌ Site Context · gaia-computer-technologiesTurn supplied site facts (orientation, topography, access, climate, neighbours, views, constraints) into a design-relevant reading — opportunities and constraints, and how each should shape the concept. Use at RIBA Stage 0–1 / AIA Pre-Design for a "site analysis", "site appraisal write-up", "read this site", or "what does this site want to be". Works only from facts you provide; it never invents orientation, flood, climate, or planning data — every gap is flagged for verification.
- ▌ Concept Parti · gaia-computer-technologiesDevelop the parti — the single organising idea that structures a scheme — as two or three distinct, defensible directions, each with its diagram-in-words, the moves it drives, and what it trades away. Use when an architect is at the blank page and wants "concept options", "the big idea", "a parti", "organising principle", or "ways into this project". Favours one strong direction over many weak ones, and ties every move to a reason, never decoration.
- ▌ Render Prompt · gaia-computer-technologies bundleCraft a structured, optimised prompt for AI architectural image tools — subject, style, materials, lighting, camera, atmosphere, plus a targeted negative prompt and cross-view consistency notes. Use when an architect wants a "render prompt", to visualise a concept, or to translate loose design intent into precise image-model instructions. Recommends Midjourney (concept mood) and Google Nano Banana (editing a specific design), teaches cross-tool prompting, and maps styles to Gaia Studio presets (gaia.computer). Feeds from material-palette and space-feel.
- ▌ Design Critique · gaia-computer-technologiesRed-team an architectural scheme against its own stated intent, brief, context, and precedent — a structured, senior-level design review that surfaces the strongest objections and where the concept is weak, each finding tied to evidence. Use when an architect wants a "critique", "design review", "poke holes in this", "devil's advocate", or "what's wrong with this scheme" before a pin-up, client meeting, or competition submission. Reviews stated design intent, not building code.
- ▌
- ▌ Material Palette · gaia-computer-technologies bundlePropose a cohesive 3–5 material palette (with finishes, roles, aging forecast, and detailing notes) for an architectural concept, balanced for style, budget, climate, and maintenance. Use when material direction is open, when building a family around one anchor material, or when checking whether a palette has real internal logic rather than being a Pinterest collage. Say "suggest materials", "palette for a [style] house", or "what goes with [material]". Feeds render-prompt and space-feel.
- ▌
- ▌ Programme Schedule · gaia-computer-technologiesBuild or sanity-check a schedule of accommodation — room list, per-space areas from named benchmarks, circulation and net-to-gross with an explicit efficiency factor, reconciled to a target GIA or budget. Use when an architect needs an "area schedule", "schedule of accommodation", "space programme", net/gross gross-up, or "does this fit". Shows every calculation step (free-typed arithmetic is unreliable), states benchmarks as convention to verify (never code), and flags gaps. Extends design-brief.
