What to include in the brief
This text guides the analysis and design of every board, so describe the real site. Aim to cover:
  • Location & surroundings — what borders the site (roads, rail, water, existing neighbourhoods, open land)
  • Site character — topography, slope, orientation, prevailing wind, views, flood/sabkha or other constraints
  • Figures — target GLA, catchment population, anchor tenants, tenant mix, footfall targets, parking ratio, service access, leasable frontage, F&B share, and commercial phasing (these also drive the planning numbers)
  • Features to preserve — existing trees/groves, heritage elements, landmarks, water features
  • Planning goals — what the project must achieve (e.g. walkable, family-oriented, mixed tenure, phased delivery)
  • Special requirements — any client, regulatory or cultural conditions the design must respect
Example: “Canal-front retail boulevard with 45,000 m² target GLA; rail line to the south, flood-prone sabkha edge to the west to remain undeveloped; preserve the date-palm grove as a shaded F&B plaza; include anchor retail, evening dining, shaded pedestrian routes, and service access from the rear.”  (max 1,000 characters)

Design Intelligence

Saudi / Gulf Commercial & Retail Design Rules

12 non-negotiable principles governing quality commercial and retail design in the Saudi and Gulf context. Every prompt generated by this system is built on these foundations.

📍
Catchment & Footfall Logic
Design around realistic catchment areas, pedestrian desire lines, arrival points, and anchor-generated movement.
🛍️
Anchor and Tenant-Mix Strategy
Place anchors, F&B, leisure, services, and small retail units to maximize dwell time and circulation.
🌤️
Climate-Comfort Retail Movement
Ensure shaded pedestrian routes, arcades, canopies, cooled courtyards, and evening comfort.
🕌
Prayer and Family Facilities
Integrate prayer rooms, family seating, toilets, mother-and-child facilities, and culturally appropriate amenities.
🚗
Arrival, Parking, and Drop-off Clarity
Separate private cars, taxis, buses, delivery, valet, and pedestrian entry sequences.
🚛
Service and Back-of-House Separation
Keep loading, waste, staff access, and maintenance routes invisible and operationally efficient.
🪟
Retail Frontage Activation
Use transparent, legible, shaded, and continuous active frontages.
🌙
Evening Economy and Night Activation
Support Gulf evening life through lighting, F&B terraces, safe public spaces, and event zones.
🏛️
Cultural and Architectural Identity
Reinterpret Hijazi, Najdi, Islamic, souk, or contemporary Gulf identity without generic global styling.
🌳
Public Realm as Commercial Value
Treat plazas, shaded streets, water features, and landscape as dwell-time and revenue-supporting assets.
🧭
Wayfinding and Brand Hierarchy
Coordinate signage, gateway markers, anchor visibility, and pedestrian navigation.
📊
Commercial Feasibility and Phasing
Link GLA, parking, anchors, tenant mix, infrastructure, and phasing to investment realism.
Prompt Architecture

35-Stage Workflow with Output-Memory Control

UrbanGPT.AI now separates universal system rules from stage-specific prompts. Global quality, Saudi/Gulf context, visual standards and board formatting are inherited once, while each stage defines only its unique purpose, output family and prohibited overlaps.

🧬
Global Inheritance Layer
Competition quality, Gulf climate logic, Vision 2030 alignment, print standards and graphic DNA are defined once, not repeated in every prompt.
🧠
Stage Module System
Each stage contains only objective, inputs, analytical role, unique deliverables, visualization family and prohibited overlaps.
🎞️
Visualization Diversity Engine
Prevents repeated camera angles, board compositions, render atmospheres, diagram families and visual hierarchy across consecutive stages.
🧩
Output Memory Control
Tracks previously used forms, prompts, overlays, compositions and deliverables so new outputs do not visually echo earlier ones.
🚫
Prohibited Overlap Rules
Each stage explicitly states what it must not produce, preventing site analysis from becoming strategy, and strategy from becoming final design.
📊
Unique Output Families
GIS analysis, climate overlays, networks, KPI dashboards, masterplans, sections, technical systems remain visually distinct.
🔁
AI Design Optimization & Refinement
Stage 32 runs a dedicated AI optimization and refinement pass across GLA yield, footfall and circulation, shaded comfort, public realm and environmental performance.
🏁
35-Stage Delivery Logic
The final five stages add livability, economic feasibility, AI optimization, board generation and cinematic presentation packages.
Generate

35 Design Stages

Complete the project setup above — then generate prompts for any stage on demand.

Present

10 A0 Competition Boards

Generate ten print-ready A0 category boards — one per category — built automatically from your project inputs and your developed design.

Suite

Project Design DNA & Master Plan — locked across all 10 boards

These lock your design identity and layout so all 10 boards read as one coherent project. Defaults are derived from your theme & climate — edit any field to match your finalized design, then Save. Everything here is injected identically into every board prompt.

For identical visuals across boards: these prompts lock the design intent in text. To lock the actual look, generate your master-plan / hero board once, then reuse that image as a visual reference in your AI tool (image prompt / style reference, e.g. Midjourney --sref or --cref, or img2img). Text alone cannot force identical geometry across separate generations.
Trust & Professional Use

Built for consultants, universities, developers, and public agencies

Who this is for

Site & Framework Findings — Stages 1–5 → shape the concept scenarios

Summarise what Stages 1–5 concluded about the site. Defaults are derived from your climate, density, theme and brief — edit to match your analysis, then Apply. This is injected into the Stage 6 concept prompt as the binding basis for scenario formation, and it re-sorts the concept list so the best-fit options for your site surface first (all stay selectable).
