No software installs. No license fees. Just open a browser and design.

01 · The Why

Design isn’t just drawn anymore. It’s computed.

The tools changed. The work changed. Now the classroom has to.

Complexity

A contemporary project balances thousands of parameters: structure, daylight, airflow, fabrication. Relationships like that can’t be sketched; they have to be computed.

Speed

Computational workflows turn weeks of manual iteration into hours. A student can test a hundred design variations before their next crit.

Scale

The same parametric logic designs a steel joint or a city block. Scale becomes a variable, not a barrier.

Yet most design schools still teach drafting first.

02 · The Challenge

Let’s bridge the gap.

From outdated curriculum to industry-ready skills.

What’s taughtWhat’s needed

No structured curriculum

Academically Structured

Inconsistent delivery

Teachable by non-specialists

Not enough specialists

Backed by strong materials

Weak fabrication link

Fabrication-oriented outputs

High internal build cost

Ready out-of-the-box

03 · The Platform

Meet Beegraphy

The computational design classroom, reimagined.

A Beegraphy classroom: instructor demonstrating a node-based parametric design on a screen while students watch, with a 3D printer producing colorful parts nearby.

Visual, not code.

Free for every student.

Production-ready scripts.

Built for the Classroom.

The course in three minutes.

What Computational Design 101 is, how it runs inside a semester, and what students walk out with.

04 · Human Proof

We built Beegraphy to make computational design accessible.

Then educators found us.
Laurent Lescop
Intro

Meet Laurent Lescop, a professor from Nantes, France.

“He stopped losing half his workshop to IT.”

  • Every workshop used to start the same way: students stuck on installation, versions clashing, time wasted before a single concept was taught.
  • With Beegraphy running in the browser, that problem vanished.
  • Laurent now spends the full session teaching computational design, not troubleshooting setup.
  • He’s made it his go-to platform for every workshop he runs.

“She stopped sending files. She started sharing work.”

  • Her old workflow meant emailing static files, waiting for feedback, and losing track of versions.
  • BeeGraphy replaced all of that with a single shared link.
  • Her designs update in real-time, student submissions come in live, and the course runs as a genuinely collaborative space.
  • She built it into her course framework as the core tool, not an afterthought.

“She needed her high school students to see math, not just solve it.”

  • Jiyun wasn’t looking for a design tool; she needed a way to make abstract mathematical concepts visible in 3D for high school students.
  • BeeGraphy was beginner-friendly enough that her students were working from the first session, with no onboarding friction.
  • She uses it to bring geometry and mathematical logic to life in a way that a textbook simply can’t.

We turned three years of educator feedback into a 16-week program.

Free for every university.

The Awards

Beegraphy Computational Design Awards 2027
2027 Edition · Global

An annual showcase celebrating the boldest student and professional computational design work from around the world.

Educator Awards: $3,600 and three trophies for the faculty behind the entries. Your score is entries multiplied by their average jury score, so a smaller class doing better work still wins. Students add you as a mentor to make you eligible.
