CoursesDesign Workshops

Design Workshops

PAACADEMY's Design Workshops category brings together intensive studios and advanced masterclasses that span computational design, parametric geometry, fabrication and emerging digital practice. Courses in this collection overlap with PAACADEMY's core categories, grouping the most research-intensive and cross-disciplinary workshops in one place. The selection includes advanced parametric studios using Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D, fabrication-focused courses linking digital modeling to physical production, AI-integrated design workflows, and body and wearable architecture workshops that apply architectural computation to non-building scales. Participants typically have prior experience in at least one computational tool before enrolling in Design Workshops. The category serves architects, computational designers and students looking for intensive, practice-level courses that go beyond software fundamentals and engage with design research, formal experimentation and fabrication-aware geometry.
