<ATN> RHINO + GRASSHOPPER MASTERCLASS

Learn the two most essential tools in contemporary architectural design.

If you walk into any of the world’s leading firms, BIG, Zaha Hadid, Foster + Partners, you’ll find two tools at the heart of their design process: Rhino and Grasshopper.

Rhino is the industry’s most widely used 3D modeling software. Grasshopper is its built-in parametric design engine. Together, they power some of the most innovative projects being built today.

That’s why we created the ATN Rhino + Grasshopper Masterclass & Workshop Bundle, giving you everything you need to learn both tools the way they’re actually used in practice.

How it Works?

Rhino Masterclass
Learn the foundations of Rhino: modeling basics, building your first project, diagrams, and 2D drawings.

Grasshopper Masterclass → Step by step through the Grasshopper interface, logic, lists, data trees — and even scripting BIG’s Serpentine Pavilion.

Lifetime Masterclass Access
You get access to the full pre-recorded Masterclasses, so you can revisit lessons anytime and learn at your own pace.

Why join?

✔ Learn directly from Oliver Thomas, Founder of Archi-Tech Network and former Design Technology Manager at BIG.
✔ Build confidence in Rhino + Grasshopper with real workflows used in practice.
✔ Go from beginner to confident in just two weekends.
✔ Keep learning afterwards with lifetime access to the full Masterclasses.

Who is this for?

Students who want the skills top firms expect.

Practicing architects looking to level up their digital design toolkit.

Anyone who wants to master the software behind the world’s most innovative architecture.

THE TUTOR - OLIVER THOMAS

BIO

Oliver Thomas is an architect and educator with over a decade of hands-on experience using Rhino and Grasshopper across design, fabrication, and digital delivery. He has worked at world-leading firms including Aedas, Front Inc, BIG, and Facit Homes, where he has applied computational design tools to projects ranging from cutting-edge cultural buildings to modular housing systems.

As Design Technology Manager at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Oliver led the integration of Rhino and Grasshopper into the office’s design workflows, developing advanced digital systems that bridged concept design, BIM, and fabrication. His experience sits at the intersection of architectural practice and technology, shaping how new generations of designers approach computational tools.

"Rhino and Grasshopper have been the foundation of my career as an architect, from design and fabrication to BIM, computational design, and modular housing. They have consistently been at the core of developing cutting-edge designs and workflows."

COURSE OVERVIEW

Lifetime membership to the pre-recorded masterclasses

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Rhino 8 (At least 90 free trial)
Rhino 7 or 6 also fine, just some features won't be available

MODULE - 101 - MODELING BASICS

Get started in Rhino with the core modeling tools. Learn the interface, create curves and surfaces, and move from solids to meshes, Sub-D, and blocks, the essential commands for everyday design work.
