From beginning to end, I teach architectural design softwares Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, Autocad and visualization softwares Photoshop, After Affects, Illustrator, Lumion, Blender. Depends on how far you want to go on learning the skills, I have three options for you;
1) Software basics
The combination is up to “what kind of architect you want to be”. You can go on quick construction detailing and simple geometries, so Revit + Lumion is enough for you. If you want to design more complex geometries and parametric structures, Autocad + Rhinoceros + Lumion would be a better option. In the basics, I also cover the basics of architectural design principles from my professional and academic experiences too.
2) Advanced Software
Revit and Rhino has extremely powerful features such as structural analysis, daylight analysis, parametric modeling. When you are precisely familiar with the basics of the Revit or Rhino, you can understand and use the analysis tools in short amount of time.
3) Representation
Adobe Suite gives enormous options for creating nice visuals, diagrams, edited renders and animations. Photoshop for image editing, Illustrator for diagrams, After Affects for videos are the main three softwares. If Lumion is not satisfying for architectural animations and renders, you can learn the basics of Blender for more characteristic representation.
