"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."

“When we joined the team in 2010, we was using Microstation and SketchUp; once we learned Archicad, it streamlined the way we designed and we have never looked back we a convert.”

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

"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,"

"If it wasn’t for Archicad, maybe we wouldn’t have completed the project in time. Most likely with 2DCAD, walkthroughs or renderings would have been too late for client approval. Also, the client would not have understood our design proposal so well from the initial design stage."

"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."

"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."

"Architecture shouldn’t be about eliminating the existing community, their history, and the uniqueness of the site — but rather about including them and developing them further."

"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."

"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."

"In the past 5 years we’ve perfected a workflow that lets us design tens of thousands of square meter buildings, without any considerable challenge."

"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."

"Concept and documentation are two different worlds today. Our goal is to make Archicad a tool for gathering these different tasks into one, cohesive workflow,"

"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."

"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."
