BSS Title Edition XIV: Grasshopper that ends inside Revit or Archicad by PAZ Academy


PAZ Academy opens Edition XIV of the 
Building System Specialist Title on 1 September.

Most parametric training ends where the definition ends: you get geometry, and then you get a problem, because nobody downstream can build from a definition. This one carries the work across the bridge — Rhino.Inside.Revit, or the Grasshopper–Archicad connection, depending on which side of the office you sit on. The output is a coordination model a team can actually work in.

Five months, three parts, eighteen levels: Rhino and Grasshopper foundations, parametric design systems, data structures, automation, optimisation, Python, AI, environmental analysis, and the BIM integration above.

You can see where it ends. On 25 August, Pablo Levine Mardones defended his final project in public: a Vertical Gym for a municipal site in Medellín, four building systems parametrised, searched with Galapagos, the chosen option carried into Revit and shared live between Zürich and Medellín. Every edition finishes that way a public presentation, not a certificate in the post.

Taught online in English, with professors reachable in German, Hungarian and Spanish. Minimum six hours a week with constant personal mentoring. Six hours a week is the honest filter: the software is learnable, the hours are the commitment.

7'470 CHF, instalments available, student rate on request. Cohorts are kept small and seats for this edition are nearly gone.
