The objective of this article is to present the application of the "Double-Layered Model" concept for image generation using AI tools in a design studio. To delimit this study, a workshop was conducted in a controlled environment, along with utilizing control protocols and analyzing the results produced in an undergraduate Architecture course in Brazil. The discipline challenges students to develop an urban park with the aim of illustrating future realities. The analysis of the process and the generated results allowed for an evaluation of the potential for generating images through an AI system, in light of concepts described by Goldschmidt. The students were guided to create images using inputs related to the concept. The variability of results based on the propositions for the design problem, combined with the guidance provided by the applied concept, suggests a potential supportive tool for generating ideas in a design studio.
