Questions

Is Nano Banana or ChatGPT better for architectural rendering?

It depends on the task. Most examples in the library run the same prompt through both Nano Banana (Gemini) and ChatGPT and show the results side by side. In general Nano Banana keeps the geometry of your input better (sketch, model or plan to rendering), while ChatGPT is stronger at generating diagrams and presentation boards from text.

Do the prompts work for landscape, urban and interior design?

Yes. The library has 11 sections and 51 lessons covering architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and interiors, including planting plans, streetscapes, masterplan renderings, mapping, sections and presentation boards.

What is free?

Every before/after image is free to browse, and the prompts for the first example of every lesson are fully free. The complete library is a paid download.

What software do I need?

Only Nano Banana (Google Gemini) or ChatGPT. Upload your sketch, model screenshot or photo, paste the prompt and generate.
