Aussie_BIM vs the UK_BIM, AKA the global BIM leaders (When and why had Graphisoft given up on their Australian ArchiCAD users?)

DebunkTheBIM

See, once upon a time, some decade or so ago – BIM (or VC) and Graphisoft (with ArchiCAD) were doing very well in Australia (and New Zealand)! FKA was not the only cutting edge BIM company that pushed the boundaries of BIM using ArchiCAD in Australia in the early 2000s – Rice Dabney, Woods Bagot and others did too. Making progress.

I’ll be in Novi Sad next week.

DebunkTheBIM

A dear old acquaintance has scheduled the annually occurring Archicad users’ summit for the same weekend. The last time I presented at this event it was exactly 5 years ago and I chose the subject of ‘virtual construction’.

Isn’t someone missing here? (What is my problem with Autodesk?)

DebunkTheBIM

I get regular updates through my FB page on how the big event of The Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling (HKIBIM) planned for the 13 th of December is shaping up.
