DebunkTheBIM

Who writes/reads blogs anymore, anyway? But Graphisoft is 40, a worthy cause to dig out the old blog and fire it up.

DebunkTheBIM

Something that first occurred to me more than a dozen years ago when I still drove AutoCAD as a pro too: Archicad was made for the thinkers and doers, the hands-on solution makers.
