Not ArchiCAD, Revit, or BIM, but an even MORE sophisticated program is now beta testing in 64-bit. NCARB is beta testing a new service that allows customers with 64-bit Windows systems and Macs to access the ARE Practice Programs. NCARB Record holders can participate in a free trial by logging into My NCARB and clicking the “Add” button for this service. The beta version will be available from 22 January
I’ll talk about all the convergence I’ve been seeing in 2013 another time. Suffice to say that Randy Deutsch‘s tweet about this Design Intelligence article fit too perfectly with part of my talks from ABX and EcoBuild. So I’m spurred to share. Read the article. It’s a good list. Any list about Architecture that has Robots as a bullet point is a winner in my eyes. Seriously, how fucking cool
If you are reading this you are a dinosaur. The digital natives will steal your job. But that’s okay because you won’t be qualified to do your job when they start taking responsibility from us. And I do mean us (more on that maybe tomorrow). So what are we going to do to survive? Okay dinosaurs. I’ve got a question for us. If we don’t design buildings that look like
I just want to make sure you have all read this and that there’s a link from my blog to it. How I wish I had written it! And today seems like a good time to link to it because I haven’t gotten around to cleaning up one of the 150+ partially written blog posts I have that need publishing. Tonight or tomorrow. I just need to design a mini-golf
MUNICH, January 16, 2013 — Leading BIM technology providers GRAPHISOFT® and BIMobject® announced today at BAU 2013 that they have signed a strategic partnership agreement, which aims to serve the ArchiCAD community with the broadest range of intelligent BIM components available on the web and in their native BIM environment. “Building components are as mission critical to the design and realization of buildings as standard construction elements are,” said Akos
Let’s Do This. You should all know my feelings on comparing software by now. Especially ArchiCAD vs Revit. All I really know about the two light versions of ArchiCAD and Revit is what I’ve read and heard. I haven’t used either. But when has that ever stopped me or anyone else from voicing an opinion? I want to look at what is missing from these programs in relation to their
BUDAPEST, January 11, 2013 — GRAPHISOFT today announced the release of ArchiCAD STAR(T) Edition 2013 starting with the German and Austrian versions. ArchiCAD STAR(T) EDITION 2013 runs on the robust, well-tested engine of ArchiCAD 16 for unparalleled speed and performance, and is optimized for smaller-sized firms in the architectural design software market. ArchiCAD STAR(T) Edition 2013 contains all the tools necessary to create the BIM model from which the entire architectural
I’m always keeping an eye out for news about the future of ArchiCAD While Graphisoft like most technology companies keeps most of their forthcoming features as closely kept secrets (for good reason), there are hints about the future. For instance, it’s not too late to sign up for the Eco Designer Star webinar. If you can’t wait to watch the webinar, you can follow that link to read some inside
I’ll use Post 300 as an opportunity to look ahead to the coming year. I’ll be honest. I want to hit 1,000 followers on Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube this year. And then 1,000 on the remaining two in 2014. It’s not going to be easy. As of January 2nd, 2013, I was at 557, 466, and 300 respectively. To reach that target, it’ll mean a LOT of content generation this
