DesignMarch in Reykjavik brings together participants and guests with progressive design and innovation. The festival heralds new and surprising approaches and is a vibrant platform for ideas, diverse perspectives and knowledge driving force that enriches and enhances society.

For this event we invited designers from every field, be it architects, landscape designers, urban planners, graphic designers and even stage designers to work together in pairs inside Arkio for a couple of hours. It was truly inspiring to see how quickly they were able to start designing and collaborating and we captured some of their feedback afterwards.

## What will you design first?

Describe it in a sentence. The agent takes it from there.

Start designing: [open the Arkio web app](https://app.arkio.is/?prompt=A%20garden%20studio%20with%20a%20green%20roof) and describe your idea, for example “A garden studio with a green roof”. The design agent uses AI credits.

More ideas to try: A 3-bedroom family house; Open up my kitchen; A primary school for 300 pupils; Massing for a mixed-use block.

AI credits required · Runs in your browser · No 3D skills needed
