Does this sound familiar?
You've watched the tutorials. You've followed along. But the moment you close the video and open Grasshopper yourself — you're lost.
You know what you want to design. You just don't know how to think your way there.
You follow tutorials… but can't build anything on your own.
Your definitions spiral into spaghetti you can't read or fix.
Complex forms still feel like something only big studios can pull off.
You're spending hours on problems that should take minutes.
This isn't a skill problem. It's a mindset problem.
Most Grasshopper teaching focuses on what buttons to press. Nobody teaches you how to think — the underlying logic that makes everything else click.
That's exactly what Coding of Form fixes.
This isn't just a course.
It's a world you join.
Coding of Form is Tekne Lab's learning ecosystem — a structured, community-driven environment built around one idea: Computational Thinking is a skill anyone can develop, at any stage of their design career.
Inside Coding of Form, you're not working through tutorials alone. You're joining a growing community of designers from Architecture, Product design, Engineering and beyond — all on the same journey, at different points along it.
Along with the Course content you will also access an exclusive community channel where you ask questions, share wins and connect with the Tekne Lab Community.
This is where copying scripts ends. Real design thinking — and real community — begins.
We don't just teach computational design. We practice it every day.
Tekne Lab is a team of computational design specialists working on real architectural projects WORLDWIDE.
The methods we teach inside Coding of Form are the same logic, workflows, and problem-solving frameworks we rely on professionally — refined across landmark projects, complex briefs, and the kind of design challenges that don't have tutorials.
We built Coding of Form because we know exactly where designers get stuck. We've been there. We've solved it — many times. And we built the program we wish we'd had.
No gatekeeping. No ego. Just hard-earned knowledge, made accessible.
WHATS INSIDE CODING OF FORM?
What you'll learn
Coding of Form is a focused, self-paced program structured to build your computational thinking from the ground up — efficiently and without detours. Each section builds directly on the last, taking you from first principles to building complex geometry with confidence.
-
Think in numbers, not nodes Parametric design is fundamentally about number systems and how you control them. You'll learn to see any design problem as a set of rules you can define — the foundation that makes everything else possible.
-
Grasshopper's data logic is where most self-taught designers get lost. You'll understand it clearly — which means complex definitions stop feeling chaotic and start feeling logical.
-
How do you take an idea and turn it into a working parametric system? You'll learn a repeatable problem-solving approach you can apply to any project, any brief, in any discipline.
-
Apply your new thinking to the geometry types you actually work with. By the end, you'll be building forms you couldn't have approached before.

STUDENT REVIEWS
Don’t take our word for it - real results from real clients.
CRAIG TOMON - ARchitectural nexus
“it's all about understanding the ‘WHY’”
“Amazing comprehensive layering of working knowledge in Grasshopper. It's not just about doing things in the program, it's all about understanding the ‘WHY’ you're doing things to generate your outcome! Top notch!”
GARY MILLER - RCA STUDENT
“It's the best course I have taken in Rhino/Grasshopper and I have done a few.“
“Without a doubt, the Tekne-Lab course has raised my ability to a much better level. I'd recommend the course to anyone who needs to master the fundamentals relatively quickly.”
LAURA MADRIGAL- ARCHITECTURE STUDENT
“It has opened my mind and creativity in ways that before I couldn't”
“It has been a great experience and opportunity to learn the program and develop my skills in parametric architecture.
It has opened my mind and creativity in ways that before I couldn't. I don't have fear anymore of design with complex geometries.”
ANTONIO TANZARELLA - BDP PATTERN
“I strongly recommend this course to professionals of any background…”
“The progress I've achieved is reflected in my portfolio, serving as a testament to the skills honed during this program. I strongly recommend this course to professionals of any background or experience level as it's all about having the right attitude and mindset to make the most of this invaluable learning opportunity.”
STefano Rossi - id partners
“Every day of the COURSE was an ‘aha’ moment :-D.”
“The whole problem solving approach was set up in a different way. Learning to break down the workflow and organizing the script was a breakthrough.”
For Designers Ready to Think Differently
Coding of Form was developed in the context of Architecture — but the thinking it teaches applies across every design discipline that works with geometry, systems, and complex form.
Architects, product designers, engineers, fabricators, artists — if you work with shape and want to work smarter, Coding of Form is built for you.
You don't need prior Grasshopper experience. You need curiosity and the willingness to think differently.
FAQs
-
No — the course is designed to build your understanding from the ground up. You’ll learn the mindset and logic first, which makes everything else much easier.
-
You get lifetime access. Learn at your own pace and revisit lessons anytime.
-
Yes. Coding of Form teaches Grasshopper in a structured, clear way that works for complete beginners and self-taught learners.
-
Absolutely. You can start whenever you like and move through the lessons on your own schedule.
-
You’ll need Rhino and Grasshopper installed on your machine. A standard laptop or desktop is more than enough to follow along.
-
Yes — you can ask questions inside our free Tekne Lab community on Discord anytime.
-
We focus on mindset, systems, and logic — not copying steps. You’ll learn how to think computationally, giving you skills you can apply to any form.
-
No. Designers from architecture, product design, engineering, art, and fabrication all use Grasshopper — and the concepts apply across all fields.
-
Most students complete it in a few days, but you can go faster or slower depending on your schedule. We would recommend taking 8-10 hours to completely review the course content and work through the assigned tasks.
-
We are constantly reviewing and updating our teaching processes and content based on student feedback.
Yes — all future updates to this course are included at no extra cost.
