Black Spectacles is where architects come to learn how to accomplish their next big thing.

We're the only learning platform created entirely for architects. That means we know this industry inside and out, and so do our instructors. Our simple, easy-to-digest and in-depth video tutorials are taught by architects and designers who work on world-class projects.

We're people who love design as much as you do, who have watched the sun come up after our fair share of all-nighters, and who turn every vacation into an architectural pilgrimage. We're just as crazy about architecture as you are. Whether it's getting licensed or learning new software to keep your skills current, everyone at Black Spectacles is committed to helping you get there.

Founded in 2010 by Marc Teer, Black Spectacles' mission is to advance the creative potential of the architecture and design professions.  Black Spectacles offers online courses for learning design software & to prepare to take the Architect Registration Exam.  

Black Spectacles' Blog publishes articles, webinars and interviews about the road to licensure and about how technology is enabling world class design.
