Online learning by watching pre-recorded videos does not work for design and architecture. Learning design is an iterative process that happens through communication over drawings, sketches, screen visuals and physical prototypes. It also depends greatly on being exposed to how your peers are addressing the same problem and understanding approaches from the experienced. No LMS (Learning Management system) in the world caters to this way of communicating while learning. There is also very little quality curated content online on design, architecture and construction subjects, and no space which upskills you in these fields sufficiently for career growth. Meanwhile, demand for designers has been growing at 21% annually over the last 5 years but only 1/5th of this demand has been met.

We felt the skill gap when we were in grad school. What we were being taught was last revised 35 years ago. 80% was also by the faculty that was non-practicing in architecture—hadn’t built anything in their life. Institutes were doing nothing to address this in India. We researched deeper by talking to professionals abroad, and found that this problem came out to be global, especially in developing and under-developed nations.

We've built a new, cohort-based, project-based LMS specifically to learn design subjects for feedback over drawings, sketches, screen visuals and physical prototypes. Our learners work in groups of 2-6 on live projects and create concept designs to executable drawings from scratch. Project-based learning and peer-to-peer interaction in cohorts increases completion rates by 12x! So far we've had over 2000 learners from 27 countries upgrading their skills in subjects like Building Information Design, UI/UX, Sustainable design, Computational design, and others. We connect course graduates to industry professionals for hiring. We look forward to your feedback!
