About PAACADEMY

We believe the future of architecture and design belongs to those who never stop learning. Founded by Hamid Hassanzadeh in 2020, PAACADEMY was born out of a vision to democratize access to advanced design education for creatives around the world. In a world shaped by rapid technological change, we’re redefining how education is delivered, making it accessible, global, and deeply relevant. Through our online workshops and courses, we connect passionate learners with leading minds in computational design, AI, 3D printing, and digital fabrication, offering not just technical skills but a mindset for innovation.

Our impact lives in the stories of our students. Some have gone on to join world-renowned firms like Zaha Hadid Architects, Bjarke Ingels Group, and Foster + Partners. Others have launched their own successful practices, carving out new paths in design. We’ve also witnessed seasoned architects, some with 30 years of experience, reignite their creativity through our workshops, shifting from conventional workflows to bold, future-facing design approaches.

PAACADEMY is more than an educational platform; it’s a global community of thinkers, makers, and visionaries. We don’t just teach how to use tools, we challenge our students to rethink what’s possible. Every session is an invitation to grow, collaborate, and push the boundaries of design.

Because people don’t just come to PAACADEMY to learn, they come to transform.
