Start the year by expanding how architecture is conceived, negotiated, fabricated, and communicated. PAACADEMY’s January 2026 bundle brings together four advanced workshops that investigate AI–human collaboration, algorithmic urban design, robotic fabrication, and AI-driven commercial environments.
This bundle focuses on workflows where parametric systems, generative AI, physical fabrication, and site intelligence intersect. From transforming parametric animations into site-integrated architecture to designing fibrous structures with robotic winding, and from data-driven urban massing to AI-powered retail environments, January’s bundle emphasizes process, negotiation, and real-world application.
All workshops include live interactive sessions, Q&A with instructors, certificates of completion, and lifetime access to the recordings.
This Bundle Includes:
- AI & Parametric Negotiation 2.0
- Fibrous Architecture: Robotic Fabrication & AI Rendering
- AI-Driven Retail Architecture: From Animation to Construction
- Algorithmic Urban Design in Grasshopper: Data-Driven Site Analysis & Massing
