Hands-on workshops in computational design for architects and students — AI rendering, parametric modeling, and the tools that turn ideas into things you can show, defend, and build.
Build the rule, not the building. Six live sessions from your first Rhino model to a site-responsive parametric pavilion with a façade that redesigns itself — plus a 1:1 portfolio review.
Turn sketches, CAD files and 3D models into photoreal AI renders — ControlNet, SDXL, Flux. Our first workshop, with a live participant gallery.
Physics with Kangaroo, form-finding, and prepping parametric geometry for laser, CNC and 3D print. The advanced follow-up to Parametric.
Sun, shadow, wind and daylight analysis driving design decisions — environmental performance as a parametric input, not an afterthought.
Every cohort uploads their work to a shared wall — vote, get featured, build a public portfolio of what you made.
Open the gallery →Install guides and primers that stay free forever — get set up and get unstuck without waiting for a class.
Read the guides →Rhino files, Grasshopper definitions and starter scripts for every session — yours to keep and remix.
Get the files →"Knowledge should be open, and skill should be shared. We teach the tools, you build the future."
Kala Academy started with a free ComfyUI workshop and a simple belief: architecture students deserve access to the computational tools the profession now runs on. Each workshop is hands-on, cohort-based, and ends with something real in your portfolio.
