AI Architect Studio · Claude Prompts

Stop guessing how to integrate AI into your architecture practice. Vellum is the complete AI-native operating system — 53 architect-tested Claude prompts, 5 AI-augmented SOPs, governance + client disclosure templates, AIA-aligned contracts, and a 16-slide pitch deck. Built by Vellum, for the architecture practice of the next decade.

AI changes which work is scarce. Drafting compresses to minutes. Research becomes structured. The bottleneck shifts from drafting to judgment. Practices that re-architect their workflow around this shift compound. Vellum is the playbook for the shift.

• Studios already using Claude/ChatGPT but lacking a workflow framework

• Architecture firms preparing governance + client disclosure before scaling AI

• Designers transitioning from freelance to AI-native studio

WHY VELLUM VS GENERIC AI COURSES:

• Architecture-specific — every prompt tested in residential practice (AIA-aligned)

• Measurable outcomes — before/after timings documented

• Governance first-class — client disclosure + internal policy included

• Human-in-the-loop — AI drafts, architect signs (liability stays where it belongs)

• Claude-native — optimized for one platform (depth over breadth)

• Not vendor evangelism — sober take on what AI does and doesn't replace
