May 2026 Workshops Bundle

Step into a comprehensive exploration of scale, system logic, and custom automation. PAACADEMY’s May 2026 bundle brings together three advanced masterclasses that investigate bottom-up design-to-fabrication workflows, custom AI coding tools, and generative AI-driven urban design.

This bundle focuses on workflows where parametric systems, AI image and video generation, and custom software communication intersect. From designing physical pavilion-scale structures based on material constraints to writing your own adaptive software with Python and AI, and generating entire cityscapes using environmental data and ComfyUI, May’s bundle emphasizes absolute control over the digital and physical environments.

All workshops include live interactive sessions, Q&A with instructors, certificates of completion, and lifetime access to the recordings.

This Bundle Includes:

1. Parametric Pavilion Design: From Concept to Fabrication
2. Vibe Coding for Designers: Adaptive Toolmaking
3. AI City Urban Design in Grasshopper & ComfyUI

What You Will Learn

Parametric Pavilion Design: From Concept to Fabrication

1. Understand bottom-up design where form emerges from materials and fabrication constraints
2. Develop small-scale structures using design-to-fabrication workflows in Rhino and Grasshopper
3. Explore form generation and structural organization through pavilion studies
4. Use Rhino for 3D modeling and Grasshopper for parametric design
5. Prepare geometry for fabrication and assembly
6. Create rendered architectural images using ComfyUI and Flux AI models

Vibe Coding for Designers: Adaptive Toolmaking

1. Understand the basics of coding and how to install and use Python
2. Describe software goals effectively to AI to generate custom code
3. Edit, review, and structure AI-generated code for smooth software integration
4. Prepare and structure real-time data to move seamlessly between different applications
5. Use JSON, APIs, and hidden comments to make AI and software talk to each other
6. Build custom computer vision algorithms to produce data ready for Grasshopper and 3D printing

AI City Urban Design in Grasshopper & ComfyUI

1. Design an urban city using AI and parametric workflows
2. Build and analyze city-scale geometry in Grasshopper
3. Generate AI visuals and concepts with ComfyUI
4. Develop adaptive parametric urban systems
5. Create detailed building and façade systems
6. Apply environmental analysis with Ladybug
7. Produce visual presentations with Photoshop and video narratives with Google Flow and Premiere Pro
