Launched in May of 2014, ThinkParametric is an online platform for learning the tools of the digital architecture trade. Gaining access to their video tutorials and the benefit of their online community would usually set you back $29 per month, or $269 for an entire year. However, to celebrate a successful first year, on March 12th they announced an "Open Class Season," a full month for people to enjoy their courses for free.
The courses offered include:
- Basic courses in Rhino, Grasshopper and Revit (the leading software for 3-D modeling, parametric modeling and Building Information Modeling respectively)
- Project-based learning in which you learn how to create projects such as MAD Architects' Absolute Towers
- And "building blocks," smaller everyday operations that you will be able to apply to your own projects.
Those who haven't already signed up for a ThinkParametric account need to act fast, however - the deadline to be able to access the courses for free is this Thursday, the 26th March. Find out more information here.
