My dear, beloved, ArchiCAD and Graphisoft. Promoting a stair as the central innovation for this year, really? But you should care about the future of your own product as its development, marketing and generally placing on the market is seriously getting off the track, even in ‘safe’ countries like your (and my) ‘own Hungary.

There is something else that bothers me these days: “innovation” The word that used to trouble me most in English once was ‘hero’. Then gradually ‘innovation’ and ‘innovative’ replaced hero and became my antiheroes. Do people wake up in the morning and say, ‘today, I’m going to innovate?' For twenty years now.

I’ve been known for criticizing Autodesk for many years and people tend to brush it off as ‘sour grapes’ – me being jealous that they’ve beaten Graphisoft’s ArchiCAD into ground – the current software of my choice. The motivation to innovate is not there, only to sell more of the same. Maybe some would be happy to wear black shoes.

Get rid of the architectural baggage Archicad was weighed down with, and make Constructor a stand alone, construction focused, modelling package. When VICO picked up Constructor about 5 years ago, it elected to upscale the reasonably capable but also architect biased modelling software into a complicated construction suite. Sell it as a box.

see link to very good discussion on Archicad Linked in group too); BIM is pretty much surviving (but not at all thriving) on tools provided by companies set up to work on the principles of succeeding in “cold-war era” types of environments. From the point of innovation and product development, the cold war era was not all bad news.

Archicad did it for an entire decade through the nineties; Presently, both packages and many more are all plodding along route 2. AutoCAD pursued strategy no1 in the eighties and early nineties.

Rather than figurative revolutions, my mind conjures pictures of young (or not so young but progressively thinking) people taking literarily over the industry with technologies to describe buildings, design and construction processes totally unlike the stiff and boring AutoCAD, Revit and even my once beloved ArchiCAD.
