GRAPHISOFT North America, based in Boston, has announced that the global leader in Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions for architects will demonstrate ARCHICAD 22 at the 2018 Conference on Architecture (booth 1057), scheduled for 21 – 23 June 2018 at the Javits Center in New York City.
ARCHICAD 22 at NYC
The latest release features a remastered Facade Design workflow with support for both traditional and algorithmic workflows that the Hungarian software pioneer argues are unmatched in the industry. The deep integration between the BIM leader and algorithmic design software leader McNeel & Associates has led to a bounty of newfound focus and attention on ARCHICAD in the past several years, often due to the marquee design firms gaining international attention for designs that utilize these combined workflows. With the new facade tools, one of the most complex and detailed aspects of designing buildings is made both more enjoyable and streamlined for advanced facades.
“Laser focus on the architect’s day-to-day experience as they design drives this new version of ARCHICAD forward,” says Tracey Gatland, General Manager for GRAPHISOFT North America. “We have enhanced the Facade Design workflow so that each step an architect takes on a project, from concept through design development to documentation supporting local standards is 100 percent BIM and never interferes with creativity.”
01 – GRAPHISOFT’s new ARCHICAD 22 features a revamped Curtain Wall workflow that is also connected to its Grasshopper-driven algorithmic modeling connection.
Expression defined property values, additional workflow improvements, parametric profiles and CineRender engine enhancements can also be found within version 22. All of these combine to what the software pioneer claims are the fastest BIM engine on the market.
