The consequences of this can, as we all know, be fatal.įor us, ARCHICAD functions as a foundation block to our computational design, engineering and manufacturing ecosystem. This fractured model, based too frequently as it is on real estate speculation, is one in which architects in particular are severely marginalized into being little more than drafting services and whose real business, design and technological capabilities are rarely used. This means the company is thinking long and hard-with their users-about the future of the AEC industry, which will be quite different from the fragmented model employed today.

These include but aren’t limited to Rhino, Grasshopper, Unreal Engine (Twinmotion), Solibri and a host of other specialized engineering, analytic tools and high-end graphic rendering & modeling tools.Īnd the other thing is Graphisoft are easy to work with and are staffed with very talented professionals who are actively engaged in the AEC field, which is reflected in their releases of each upgrade to the ARCHICAD BIM system. We’ve been using ARCHICAD for years because it operates on both Windows and macOS seamlessly, is affordable, and pioneered the concept of “OPEN BIM” years ago enabling live connections to be established with other important applications.
