THE Computational gap crisis.
Here's what nobody talks about in design school.
The real reason you're losing prestigious projects isn't your design skills.
It's not your creativity or experience either.
The problem is something I call the "Computational Gap."
While you're manually adjusting models and redrawing variations, your competitors are using parametric design to explore impossible design options faster (and cheaper) than you ever will manually.
They're winning world class projects because clients expect computational capabilities.
And every month you wait, this gap gets wider.
You feel frustrated watching younger architects master tools you don't understand.
You feel anxious about your studio's future when clients ask about parametric design.
You feel overwhelmed by scattered tutorials that leave you more confused than before.
The worst part? You're working harder than ever but falling further behind.
It's not your fault. The industry shifted without giving you a roadmap.
THE TEKNE LAB ADVANTAGE
What if you COULD create design systems in a way that YOU think?
Your OWN design logics, not someone else’s - that’s exactly what our Grasshopper Coaching Cluster helps you do.
It’s a 12-week journey into Computational Design — where you stop following tutorials and start creating your own systems.
Instead of drawing every line manually, you’ll learn to define the rules that generate complex forms.
The same principles used in world-class architecture studios — and the same mindset that lets small teams outperform big firms.
When you understand Computational Design, everything changes:
You explore design ideas 10× faster
You turn sketches into repeatable parametric systems
You eliminate human error with beautiful and accurate geometry
You become the “computational expert” your clients and team rely on
This isn’t about replacing creativity - it’s about amplifying it through logic, iteration, and mastery.
Most architects try to learn Grasshopper the hard way.
Random tutorials. Button-pushing courses. Years of confusion.
But what if you could learn the exact same methods used by world class architects?
Here's what makes our 12-week program different...
COMPUTATIONAL FOUNDATIONS
95% of Grasshopper students skip to trying to create complex projects; without any idea of the foundations and fundamentals of the software, its structure, and how to think computationally.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have been using Grasshopper a while. Having a strong foundation of the basics is imperative and what our entire course program is based around.
ACTIVE DESIGN CHALLENGES
Following through videos and tutorials is only going to get you so far. You need to learn how to APPLY that knowledge to different design scenarios and situations.
The Tekne Lab program is built around challenges and giving you the space to design you OWN projects from the ground up.
COMMUNITY BASED LEARNING
Community learning goes a long way with Grasshopper. Helping others to understand complex concepts not only assists the person needing help, but the speaker also benefits by having to organize their thoughts and clearly communicate. The synergy of community learning is a powerful mechanism!
SO WHATS INCLUDED?
WHEN YOU JOIN TOdAY YOU’LL GET ACCESS TO:
Tekne Lab Core Modules taking you from FOUNDATIONS to Grasshopper FLUENCY.
-
Numbers are the basis of everything we do as parametric designers: EVERYTHING. Learn to see design as systems of numbers that we can create in Grasshopper.
-
If numbers are the base of all parametric design, then learning how to fluidly control and manipulate them is the next level.
-
Grasshoppers data and tree structure can be treated like another number systems - again how we control and manipulate them is key to creating more advanced workflows.
-
How do you develop a complex idea to a fully tested and working design system in Grasshopper? Here we learn the strategies you can use over and over again to develop your OWN ideas and projects in Grasshopper.
-
Everything we have learned so far but applied to curve geometries in Grasshopper.
-
Everything we have learned so far but applied to surface geometries in Grasshopper.
-
Everything we have learned so far but applied to solids and volumetric geometries in Grasshopper.
Learn how to work with solids in an efficient way so we don’t blow up our computers.
-
Lets work on a final project together to pull everything you have learned together and showcase your computational skills.
Writing your own Grasshopper scripts from scratch and becoming a TRUE Computational Designer is 100% achievable. With our proven learning method, taking you from the fundamentals, building on complexity, and integrating our Computational Mindset approach - week to week.
CLUSTER SCHEDULE:
Private Cluster Discord channel + Miro board where you can share your work and get direct feedback and support.
Stuck on anything in the modules? Reach out in your Clusters private discord channel and we will get back to you ASAP.
You can also share your work and progress on the Cluster MIRO board and see what your colleagues have been working on.
Every week Jak will host a 2-3hr live Q&A call where you can ask him anything you want, whether that’s to help you with a specific problem in the Tekne Lab Modules or even help you with your own projects and portfolio - its totally up to you. You can ask him absolutely ANYTHING and he'll be ready to help you out.
Weekly Workshop Q&A calls with me where you can ask me ANY question you want.
Design Challenges are the mechanism which makes the Tekne Lab program totally unique in the Grasshopper coaching world. There is NO benefit in simply watching video after video of tutorials - you need to learn how to APPLY that knowledge in order to make it stick. We achieve this by TESTING you each week with different design challenges, pushing your knowledge and skills forward - ensuring you RETAIN all the knowledge you have learned.
Integrated Design Challenges at Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced & Pro level
Computational Mindset Program Resources, Templates & more.
Tools helping you rewire your mind so you can start having the autonomy and independence to stop using tutorials to design, and write scripts yourself - for ANY design problem. This includes the Tekne Learn BIBLE for principles of Geometry, Parametric & Computational Design - where we have broken down and easily explained concepts that are typically hard to understand. Constantly being updated, this is the only Computational Design mega-resource you will EVER need, to refer back to again and again!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You get access to a family of ambitious designers and innovators who are all looking to achieve design freedom along with an adaptive and computational mindset, using Grasshopper. You will also get access to Q&A calls, resources, templates and video guides designed to help you navigate your creative journey.
-
The Cluster runs for 12 weeks.
You’ll get 8 modules, delivered weekly with breaks built in for catching up and applying what you’ve learned — so you’re never rushing just to keep pace.
We also meet weekly on live calls for coaching, support, and community learning. -
No stress — we’ve designed the Cluster to give you space to breathe.
There are two built-in breaks:A 2-week catch-up break after Module 4
A 2-week buffer at the end for review, integration, and wrap-up
If you’re still feeling behind, we’ve got your back. In some cases, you can pause and rejoin the next Cluster when it opens.
Just reach out to me directly and we’ll find the best option for your situation. -
The Cluster is designed as a group experience, with weekly live calls where you can get feedback, ask questions, and connect directly with me and the community.
However we regularly run early sign up bonuses that includes some 1:1 time with Jak so keep an eye out!
If you're looking for more personalised guidance, we do offer a Mentorship Tier that includes weekly 1-1 sessions for deeper support.
If you're interested in that, just reach out — we’ll see if it’s the right fit for you.
