This workshop focuses on creating detailed architectural designs using BIM, Rhino, Grasshopper, and AI for modular architecture and aggregation.
Project organization using BIM technology
Generating modular structures in Rhino+Grasshopper with Monoceros and Wasp
Utilize Rhino.Inside to transfer geometry and parameters from Rhino to Revit and vice versa
Rendering and post-processing in ComfyUI and Photoshop
This workshop will build a detailed 3D model in which relatively simple geometry will be created directly in BIM (Autodesk Revit Families), while geometrically complex parts will be generated in Rhino and Grasshopper with Wasp and Monoceros Pro plugins. We will use Rhino.Inside to provide a direct connection between the different project environments.
In this workshop, we will focus on modular architecture to highlight the comprehensive capabilities of aggregation algorithms and BIM technology. We will develop several modules and combine them into complex architectural structures by using aggregation techniques in Grasshopper.
Program of the Workshop
Day 1 - April 26th
Workshop Overview
Short introduction about the overall workflow that we will use during the workshop.
Lecture: Project Organization Using BIM Technology
This lecture will introduce the BIM workflow for projects that feature complex shells or other sophisticated building components. It will also demonstrate examples of projects where this approach has been used.
Revit: Preparing Templates, Families, and Empty Models for Further Project Development
This is the organizational part that precedes any project.
Rhino + Grasshopper: Developing Modules
This section will focus on programming and modeling separating parts of modular structures. We will use Grasshopper and SUBD modeling techniques to create geometry suitable for the next steps of our workflow.
Rhino + Grasshopper: Intro to Aggregation Methods
Understanding rules and scripting approaches for aggregation.
Day 3 - May 3rd
Rhino + Grasshopper: Aggregation
This section will focus on using aggregation algorithms with Wasp and Monoceros to finalize the conceptual structure.
Rhino.Inside: Analytical Model and Parameters
To create a proper BIM model, it is not enough to just export geometry from Rhino to Revit. It is necessary to match Rhino geometry with Revit families and assign several parameters like family type, material, workset… on each element. This section will focus on all these aspects.
Day 4 - May 4th
Rhino.Inside: Creating Final Model
This section will focus on Revit and Rhino.Inside. We will transfer previously developed modular structures into the BIM environment.
Rendering and Post-Processing with AI + Photoshop
This section will focus on the ComfyUI + Photoshop workflow for producing final renders of the project.

love the courses
great course
It was an interesting topic, very specific and based on a project workflow. That made it a bit hard to follow during the workshop, but later I checked the videos and understood it well. Thanks for your efforts
The course emphasized intelligent modular systems, interoperability, and automation — all crucial for high-efficiency design and documentation. I particularly appreciated the real-time demonstrations that walked us through live scripts and workflows.
I expected that in the last module there would be an example of how the modeled information is extracted into a document: materials. Analysis of the 3D model, followed by BIM-to-Document processing. But this didn´t happen.

Thank you for your feedback. We fully understand the importance of BIM documentation and data extraction in a comprehensive workflow. However, this particular aspect was not explicitly included in the workshop’s outlined scope. The focus was primarily on modeling, modular design, and integration techniques using Rhino.Inside and Grasshopper. That said, we truly appreciate your input and will take it into account when planning future workshops.
Awesome workshop, great insights, wonderful examples, workflow and a very clear explaination of aggregation as well as ComfyUI, would recommend
People have been waiting for Albert to teach on PA. He is a BIM and ComfyUI wizard. Can't wait to join the course and hopefully he will have another one for Comfy & LoRA soon. Cheers!
