"By rebuilding the school where there was nothing after the earthquake, the community has told us that their will to go on living has been strengthened. So, this is one of the most memorable projects for us."

"Using the Teamwork file has always been fantastic; the late change of color code identity message within Teamwork is great."

"We decided to try writing an ARCHICAD library element in GDL. It turned out that the latter was much faster and could be applied to the ARCHICAD tools in a more convenient way."

"We use Archicad to go from sketches to complex models quickly. Moving from 2D to 3D. It also allows us to use BIM functionality to keep track of areas and costs, even in the early phase."

"Schools are primarily a place for learning, but they are also a frame for the early stages of life for kids. It’s where you meet your friends. It’s a place for learning, and it’s a place for playing, and it’s a place for life."

"Archicad is more convenient to use and more adaptive to the way architects think. BIM technology is sufficiently mature. The software is light and easy to operate. These features play a key role in the whole design process."

"On a design level, the biggest challenge was to create the highest spec houses with regards to insulation and low energy consumption in a monument building; basically, creating new houses within a monument, but houses that conform to the highest specs within the boundaries the monument dictates."

"Having a 3D model has been worth its weight in gold."

"Good architecture must not impose."

"With this project, Archicad convinced us all over again that it’s the ideal design tool for a high-rise."

"If there is a digital platform that everyone can communicate on, whether it is the design team, the construction team, or the facility management team, everyone can work together — to create a splendid result."

"The AEC industry is pushing BIM more and more. We feel that Archicad is much more suitable to the use cases and user behavior of architects than its competitors."

"Whether it’s a 2D drawing or a 3D model, it’s hard to perceive intuitively because it’s impossible to bring a laptop when we go to the construction site. But with an iPad and BIMx model, everyone understands at a glance."

"“As opposed to other companies, we do not deem that BIM is the future; we deem it is the present. BIM is part of our design workflow today. We believe that BIM will soon be compulsory, and that professionals who do not adopt it will gradually lose market share."

"Open BIM helped us to efficiently understand each other’s workflow and to quickly set up the collaboration. As a preparation for the BSL event, HDR|Rice Daubney and Obayashi Corporation had web meetings to make sure we understand the workflow for this specific project, including what software we use and how …
