ArchiStar Academy members all around the world are becoming the digital design guru in their office and architecting beautiful building designs.
They are leveraging the power of a new and revolutionary learning technique...a unique approach to digital design that is turning struggling digital designers into inspiring success stories.
There has never before been such a great opportunity for you to become an in-demand digital designer.
A recent salary survey by Bloomfield Tremayne shows that people with these exact skills earn at least $4,000 to $6,000 per year more than a regular architect.
The architecture and engineering industries are going through a huge change right now. Previously buildings were designed using 2D software packages and that was fine. Now clients are more sophisticated and they are demanding premium services like 3D models, photorealistic rendering and Virtual Reality walkthroughs.
Parametric design and programming for architects were fringe skills just a few years ago. Now these skills are not anymore a “nice to have”...but quickly becoming essential in top firms.
And the industry has been quite slow to make the move across.
In a recent Architecture and Design magazine Survey, respondents were asked to rate their firm’s skill level in different digital design skills. And here were their responses:
So we can see that there is a big lag in companies adopting the latest technologies. When asked what their biggest challenge was, the single biggest challenge was finding the time to learn new software and keeping up to date.
This is precisely why the opportunity is so good right now for you to be a Digital Design guru.
If you look at it from a client’s perspective, if they asked two firms to design them a new building…one completed the work in 2D, and another did a 3D model with Rendering and Virtual Reality…which one would you choose?

A Common Myth...
There is a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to becoming the digital design guru in your office and creating photorealistic renders.
For starters, you may believe you don't need to learn digital design yourself because your company will just train you up.
It's a myth called the “hail mary” approach.
However, the truth is most companies prefer to hire digital designers who already have the skills. Good digital designers are few and far between. They are in high demand and are very expensive to hire.
And once you discard that mistaken belief, you may find that the popular myth of waiting to be trained up instead of upskilling yourself also falls by the wayside.

If you want to know what’s truly holding you back from becoming the digital design guru in the office it’s this: Free YouTube videos
A big myth is that you can simply find free YouTube videos to learn digital design.
Think about it this way….Hunting down good free video tutorials is like trying to find a needle in a haystack! It can cause you to spend countless hours searching for good free tutorials, when the truth is that they are very few and far between...
One lecturer once told us that the only good video he could find on a certain topic was in Spanish!
If you are serious about working in a good company and designing great buildings, it’s time to invest in your own education.

What our Members are Saying
If you want to get ideas out of your brain and into 3D design, or even to 3D printing like me, this is the place to go.
We are excited to roll out this world-class training platform to our Australian and overseas offices.
This learning platform is world class. Our first and second-year students are now producing work previously only reserved for Masters-level students.
I really enjoyed the videos, they are so clear and easy to understand. So amazing to see what can be done with Rhino!
