“I haven’t learned Grasshopper while studying, can I even catch up?”
“I’ve seen people use Grasshopper and it looks extremely complicated, will I be able to learn it?”
“I have a fulltime job, where do I find the time to learn Grasshopper?”
“Can Grasshopper help me improve my design skills?”
“I want to learn the techniques I need as a professional design architect, where can I find a course I can trust and that gets me there as fast as possible?”
“Grasshopper seems really hard, where should I even start?”
There can be a LOT of questions and confusion if you’re starting to learn Grasshopper.
If you don’t have a plan to follow, it can be easy to make some basic mistakes, get off track, get frustrated and give up before you even get started!
Without guidance and support, it can be difficult to make any progress at all!
A fast-tracked online course that turns you from a complete beginner into a Grasshopper professional and shows you exactly how to use it to create world-class architectural designs (and avoid late hours, too).
I developed Grasshopper Pro to guide you step-by-step and to make learning Grasshopper as effective as possible. I’ll show you exactly how to conceive, develop and finalize scripts the way they are used in real, professional architecture practice.
The course is structured in 4 modules. Each module contains assignments so you can turn what you’ve learned into practice right away and solidify your learnings as well as be amazed by your progress!
In the first module we’ll learn about all the essential concepts we need to know before we can start building our script.
We’ll learn about the core principles of visual programming, how Grasshopper differs from Rhino and how to approach a design problem in Grasshopper. We’ll look at the interface and learn the best ways to find, add and connect components.
In this module we’ll cover:
When it comes to Grasshopper, knowing how to manage data structures is key. In this module we’ll take a deep-dive into data structures and explain each concept in an easy-to-understand way. Data structures are at the core of Grasshopper and mastering them will pave the way for everything else we are going to learn.
We’ll learn how to read and interpret the contents and data structure of Grasshopper components, how to make object selections and how to match data from several data streams. By the end of this module you will have mastered data structures and data management and be well on your way to become a Grasshopper professional.
In this module we’ll cover:
Everything we create in Grasshopper will in some form contain these three main geometry types. And the better we understand their properties the more control we’ll have when using them. In this module we’ll be learning everything we need to know about the three main geometry types: Curves, Surfaces and Volumes.
We’ll learn how Rhino defines of each of these core geometries and how to create, modify and evaluate them.
After completing this module you’ll be able to confidently generate any form using these main geometry building blocks.
In this module we’ll cover:
In this module we’ll learn about the key algorithms that can help us generate elegant and sophisticated architectural effects.
We’ll be learning how to create field effects and gradients, how to deal with attractors and generate dissolution effects. Most high-end architecture projects use at least one of these algorithms in their designs. These algorithms are extremely versatile and can be applied and layered in an infinite number of ways to create complex and compelling patterns.
In this module we’ll cover:
Engage with structured assignments that transform your learnings into actionable skills, challenging you to apply the learned concepts and techniques to real-world architectural scenarios.`

Self-study / Conventional Courses
The Grasshopper Proâ„¢ Approach
10x
*Compared to conventional courses
Originally developed as internal training, the course is laser-focused on efficiency and immediate applicability. Get to use Grasshopper in your daily work 10x faster compared to conventional courses. I understand there’s no time to waste, so I’ve distilled years of expertise into a streamlined learning experience that gets you to mastery, fast!
You can try to figure out Grasshopper on your own and hodge-podge together outdated youtube videos and scripts which might lead to you knowing how to put together a script on your own in Grasshopper in a few years if at all!
Think about where you want to be in 6 months from now. Heck, think of where you want to be just ONE month from now.
Do you have a step-by-step plan of how to get there?
IF you are ready to take Grasshopper seriously and start turning it into a professional asset, Grasshopper Pro is going to be the online course that changes everything for you.
I’ll see you on the inside 😉
They say ‘if you want to get something done, ask a busy person’. Its not about how much time we have, it’s about time allocation: What do we do with our time? The course is split up into bite-sized lessons that can easily be integrated into a busy schedule.
Take control of your time and you’ll reap the rewards! It requires a small adjustment of priorities to set yourself up for success in the long run!
I remember when I was in your shoes, back when I didn’t know Grasshopper, it looked like a complicated software only geniuses are able to use. I learned Grasshopper the hard way and I know all the pitfalls and the concepts that most people struggle with – and I explain them all in easy-to-follow lessons – I’m an architect myself, so in the course I explain things in a way that makes sense to us architects! I broke down learning Grasshopper into small, easy learning blocks – it will feel easy all the way to the end, and you’ll look back and realize just how far you’ve come!
In my experience the people who feel that the course is too expensive are the ones who are most likely to get the most value from it! Mastering Grasshopper is not an easy feat, and knowing how much you invested in it, will add an additional layer of accountability and keep you committed to see the course all the way through!
This course started as a in-house training program within the Snøhetta offices. I’ve taught talented architects just like you how to bring their designs to the next level.
Seeing them succeed in using Grasshopper to create sophisticated designs on their own is why I decided to open this course up to the world.Â
It wasn’t an easy process: it took several rounds of feedback and of tracking the results to finally land on a curriculum that covered topics students were asking for, was both easy to absorb and as to-the-point as possible, after all we all have our projects to get back to!
The curriculum and teaching style in Grasshopper Pro is the result of several iterations, which is why I’m so confident it works!
Starting now will allow you to:
If you wait, you’ll be in the same place you are now 6 months, even a year from now.
Next year, you’ll wish you had started today!

Students who spread out the lessons over the course of a few weeks have shown the best results.
Ideally you can spend 2-4 hours each week following the lessons and working on the assignments.Â
That’s 30 minutes every working day.
You’ll need a copy of Rhino installed on your machine. Grasshopper ships with Rhino so you won’t need to install it separately.
To make the most of the course you should be familiar with Rhino, and ideally you are already designing with it. Rhino is not a hard software to learn, if you want to catch up, you can download a trial and learn the basics in 1-2 hours.
The only things you’ll need are an internet connection and a machine with Rhino. You can download the evaluation version of Rhino here and use it for 90 days. After that you won’t be able to save files or use plugins. It’s perfect for learning Rhino and Grasshopper.
There are no additional materials or equipment costs.
Each lesson in the course has Comments enabled, if you get stuck at any point, leave a comment and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thomas Jeremy Tait. Hopific founder, currently Lead Design Architect and Project Manager at Snøhetta.
Hi, I am Thomas, I’m lead design architect, computational design specialist and project manager at Snøhetta.
I started learning Grasshopper more than a decade ago, and quickly realized what a huge difference it can make in daily work as a design architect. My friends and colleagues started asking me how I was creating designs so quickly, and I started teaching!Â
I started training my peers at Snøhetta, but I knew so many more people could benefit from my training program, so I opened the course to the world.
My life as an architect changed completely after learning Grasshopper and I believe everyone can unleash their design superpowers with the right guidance and support.
I’m excited to see what you create in the course!
