"The architectural part of the project was done in Archicad using Teamwork, a feature that allows each architect involved to see the entire project, track all the changes and avoid errors."

"The idea of designing a project in plan, then modeling it for communicating the project seemed completely absurd especially with the additional requirement of making a specific model for thermal simulation."

"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 building is shaped like a butterfly with the large planted roof rising out of the nature park. The roof aims to grow the local flower of the region,"

"Archicad has been found to be quite flexible in order to divide information into smaller pieces and still keep most of the information in just a few model files. IFC files are created from these main model files."

"When you have something as powerful as Archicad , it raises the bar for all other aspects of the business. There’s no part of our business that shouldn’t be as good as this software."

"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 …

"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."

"Although the final documentation set consists mainly of standard 2D drawings, they are more accurate and coordinated and simply higher quality than what can ever be produced when working and thinking in 2D CAD."

"2D drawing data is not good enough as a resource of information, and neither is scanned PDF data. Again, this is why BIM is absolutely necessary."

"Thanks to the OPEN BIM workflow, participants can use a variety of software and consistently operate professionally. Using the IFC BIM data exchange, professionals were elevated to a higher level. All of this prevented many mistakes, and the quality of the documentation was much greater. BIM made it possible to …

"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."

"The results of working with Archicad as a BIM tool are surprising, since throughout the life cycle of a project we can accompany it in its different stages, witnessing that the model is identical to reality as our project begins to take shape."

"As a result, we receive much clearer feedback from our clients throughout all the stages of design."
