Let’s take a look at what we have in the upcoming weeks! ✨

This Weekend! Parametric Pavilion Design: From Concept to Fabrication

This workshop provides insight into practical design-to-fabrication workflows in Rhino and Grasshopper for the development of small-scale architectural structures. The course is grounded in a bottom-up design approach, in which design emerges from the material system, fabrication methods, and their inherent limitations.

Vibe Coding for Designers: Adaptive Toolmaking

This course will teach you how to describe a piece of software you want to use with an AI coding tool, how to start integrating real data, and how to export that data for use elsewhere. Then, you will learn how to make a piece of software ready for combining with another using hidden tricks for smooth communication.

ComfyUI Desktop App Installation Guide

Whether you're new to ComfyUI, a powerful and flexible tool for working with AI image generation workflows, or looking for a smoother installation method, this step-by-step guide is perfect for you.

How to Turn Rhino3D Models into AI Concept Renders with SDXL & ControlNet

Learn how to turn Rhino3D models into AI-driven conceptual renders using ComfyUI, SDXL, and ControlNet.

AI City Urban Design in Grasshopper & ComfyUI

The workshop introduces current trends in the use of generative AI in architectural design and answers the questions: why use AI, and what tools can be utilized to create a complex project based on a concept formulated with AI?

Ondrej Chybik - Rethinking Architecture

In a rapidly transforming world, Ondrej Chybik will help us analyze how architecture must respond to shifting social, cultural, and environmental realities. As cities evolve and existing structures demand new life, architects are challenged to rethink not only how we build, but why we build.

AI-Powered Interior Design in Architecture 2.0

This workshop is designed to introduce a new generation of AI-driven workflows specifically tailored for interior designers. Participants will explore how to combine powerful AI tools to accelerate every phase of the design process, from initial concept generation and technical drawing creation to realistic rendering and client-ready presentations.

Building Performance with Forma & Opossum

This workshop introduces a comprehensive workflow that bridges the gap between rigorous environmental data, advanced parametric modeling, and final aesthetic presentation. Utilizing a powerful suite of tools, including the Autodesk Forma Rhino plugin, Ladybug, Honeybee, and Cyclops, the process focuses on three main pillars of modern architectural design: operational carbon, embodied carbon, and a healthy work environment.

Architecture Diagram Mastery: Concept to Portfolio

The workflow is built around SketchUp and Adobe Illustrator because together they form a powerful, industry-relevant process. SketchUp helps you create clean 3D geometry and understand spatial relationships, while Illustrator allows you to refine that into precise, well-composed diagrams.

Dynamic Wearables For Fashion Design

This workshop is perfect for designers interested in developing their skills in parametric design at the body scale. Using Grasshopper allows us to design jewelry built specifically for additive manufacturing and to create the most intricate geometries, internal structures, and interlocking forms.

Advanced Grasshopper 3.0: NURBS, Mesh & Volumetric Design Systems

This workshop introduces a procedural design workflow in Grasshopper, exploring NURBS, mesh, and volumetric modeling through focused and hybrid exercises. Participants will learn how to strategically choose and combine computational methods and plugins to generate complex geometries that go beyond traditional parametric modeling.

Reverse Engineering with AI

In this workshop, we focus on connected AI workflows that move seamlessly from one tool to the next, showing you how to build a personal, flexible pipeline instead of relying on isolated prompts and placing human vision at the center of the process

AI-Powered Interior Design in Architecture

This workshop is designed to provide custom & professional workflows for applying AI across different interior design stages. Participants will learn how to use AI tools to accelerate the process from early concept and mood development to actual design variations, material exploration, and high-quality visualizations.
