Taught by Snøhetta’s computational design specialist Thomas Jeremy Tait, the Grasshopper Pro: Mastering Parametric Design for Architectural Practice course at Hopific equips architectural designers with the practical skills and knowledge to confidently navigate parametric design in real-world architectural settings.

The Grasshopper Pro course offers a structured, step-by-step learning framework, guiding students through mastering the Grasshopper interface, understanding data management, working with geometry and leveraging key algorithms used in high-end architectural projects.

By starting with the fundamentals and progressing to more complex techniques, students will build strong, adaptable skills that they can immediately apply in professional design contexts.

Throughout the course, students will develop the ability to break down and approach complex designs systematically, moving beyond basic replication to crafting their own unique parametric solutions. The practical exercises and real-world design assignments ensure students can apply their new knowledge to solve architectural challenges with confidence.

By the end of the course, students will have acquired a solid foundation and practical proficiency in parametric design, positioning them to take on more advanced projects independently. In addition, students will earn a certificate of completion to enhance their professional credentials and showcase their newly developed skills.

With over seven hours of video lessons and ten real-world assignments, this course provides comprehensive, actionable knowledge that delivers immediate value to students in their architectural practice.
