"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."

"It has totally changed our way of working, from the early drawings stage until the construction phases. Before working with Archicad, updates and changes in the projects were long and not precise."

"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 …

"We were able to channel efficiencies from the documentation phase back into design. 3D-based design enabled us to develop architectural solutions that otherwise would not have been possible. Teamwork has allowed us to collaborate on large projects within the office, and recently, BIMcloud allowed us to collaborate between offices. 3D …

Thanks to GRAPHISOFT’s MEP Modeler, we can also design all the building’s holes to be cut by the CNC machine,”

"We think one of the main reasons for the success of this project is the Archicad 3D model, which gave the contractor a great advantage in being able to deliver this level of precision and quality."

"By sharing a small-scale project, we wanted to give a practical example of how to implement BIM from the very beginning of a project. Many architects still don’t see the benefits of using BIM in the early concept design phase. For us, and for our clients, the workflow and the …

"We were fortunate to have a great client with the patience necessary to get the home that was finally constructed. Thanks to the client’s efforts, along with my office, we were able to design and build a house that has removed some of the local planning prejudice around modernist homes."

"Managing the files was greatly helped by using GRAPHISOFT BIMcloud, which provided access to the file from practically anywhere in the world, at good speeds."

"There is something in this building that helps us push forward. It’s seeping through the walls, it’s in the air."

"When they showed us what sustainability was and how it could work, we just said, you’ve got it. This is perfect."

"We configured Archicad to generate the building’s planimetry for us; we have pre-set it to make that process more automatic for structural engineering."

"We are very satisfied with the results obtained with the exchange of information with other specialized software, using the IFC file format."

"When activating the displacement with a minimum height that can barely be seen but allows the Smooth Geometry checkbox to be enabled, we achieved a result that was beyond our expectations!"

"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."
