Nalarupa
Nalarupa helps architects and designers turn sketches, photographs, models, and ordinary design instructions into visual explorations they can review and refine.
Problem
Architects and designers often have a sketch, a model, a site photograph, or an unfinished proposal they want to explore. Translating that intention into elaborate image-generation prompts interrupts the design process. A convincing image can also change important geometry or spatial relationships, so visual polish alone is not enough to judge a result.
Solution
Nalarupa starts with the designer’s existing material and a simple instruction: keep the street layout, make the façade quieter, or try a night-time atmosphere. It turns that direction into a visual study the designer can respond to, compare, and continue refining. Built from experimentation inside a working design studio, it keeps attention on design decisions. Outputs are explorations to review, with design fidelity checked against the source rather than assumed.
How
- Open Nalarupa with studio access and bring a sketch, photograph, model screenshot, plan, or existing image.
- Describe what you want to change in ordinary design language. Use markup when you need to point to a specific area.
- Generate a visual exploration and inspect it against the source, checking what changed and what should remain.
- Continue from a result or use it as a new source, refining the instruction as the idea develops.
- Review the sequence in the gallery and keep the promising results for the next design discussion.
