ArchiCAD 17 Hotfix #2
September 17, 2013
ArchiCAD 17 Hotfix-2 package (build 4005) was released today. You can read about all the details and download the hotfix (if your ArchiCAD isn’t set to automatically notify you) here. The list of fixes is long and varied; it’s worth a read. Or at least a skim. Remember to update everyone using Teamwork 2 (including the BIM Server) at the same time. That’s all for now. Plenty more things to
Generation Y isn’t Unhappy, we’re just really Stressed
September 16, 2013
I’m failing to prioritize today. Instead of doing what I planned to do, I am trying to better explain the maelstrom that is Generation Y. Hopefully this will bring some clarity and insight. And yes, I realize the irony of writing this article and the article’s conclusion. Implementation is harder than understanding.

13 Reasons BIM may have left you Behind
September 9, 2013

Nurse, doctor, mechanic, carpenter, lawyer, prostitute……..architect. These occupational titles are well-seated in the vocabulary of most. They are descriptive and, though there’s variance in the specific duties and specialties these professionals perform, it’s generally understood what they mean.

August 23, 2013
As I sit here, working on some upcoming features for an upcoming version of ArchiCAD, I’d like to reflect on my time before working here at Graphisoft HQ as a Product Designer, when I was a user of ArchiCAD. My fanboy status for the program started back in the late 90’s at the University of Tasmania where ArchiCAD, version 5.1 at the time, was the only architectural software we were
Future of Architecture and the Built Environment – LinkedIn Group
August 21, 2013
I started a LinkedIn group. It has a grandiose title: Future of Architecture and the Built Environment. You can join the group by clicking here. Why did I start a LinkedIn group when there are already a million billion groups to join. Well: The Main Reason is that there really isn’t a group focused on the things I want to discuss and share.
