BIM LIVES IN THE DETAILSFrom the outset, <strong>ArchiCAD</strong> was developed specifically to address the architect’s desire forgreat design without compromising on practical needs. <strong>GRAPHISOFT</strong> <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>’s innovativeBIM solution helps you win more business while letting you concentrate on your core skill -creating inspiring designs.Lakonis Architekten, Wien, Austriawww.lakonis.atPhoto: © Hertha Hurnaus, WienArchitect: Idis TuratoCollaborators: Ana Stanicic, Ida Križaj,Ivan Arbanas (structural engineer)Photographs: Sandro Lendler, Ivan DoroticLocation: Opatija, CroatiaYear: 2012BIM DESIGN DOCUMENTATIONWorking with <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>, you will discoverthe pleasures and the benefits ofdesigning in a 3D architecturalenvironment with extraordinary designfreedom. Based on a profound knowledgeof the architectural process, <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>’sBuilding Information Model simulates theway a real building is constructed. Fromtown planning to intricate details, fromfunctional studies to complex designs,<strong>ArchiCAD</strong>’s specialized tools are alwaysavailable and extremely easy-to-use,ensuring that there are no boundaries toyour creativity. With <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>, you createa 3D Building Information Model — allthe necessary documentation and imagesare created automatically. The projectcomes to life and evolves on the screensimultaneously with your thoughts,allowing you to concentrate on yourstrength — creating inspiring designs.Building Information Modeling is a naturaland intuitive process that is both inspiringand enjoyable. With the clarity of 3D, yourclients will truly appreciate good design.<strong>ArchiCAD</strong> allows architects to freely exploredesign ideas without compromising ondocumentation precision and quality.With <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>, you can model and shapefreely, easily creating the forms you wantand change even complex elements in themost appropriate view. <strong>ArchiCAD</strong> enablesyou to combine creative freedom withthe well-known efficiency of its robustBuilding Information Model.A comprehensive set of tools supports thecreative process within the context of theproject. <strong>ArchiCAD</strong> 17 enhances its directmodeling capabilities in the native BIMenvironment with its end-to-end BIMworkflow using Priority Based Connectionsand Intelligent Building Materials, and animproved MORPH tool. Cloud-integrationhelps users create and find the customobjects and components they need tomake their BIM models complete.<strong>GRAPHISOFT</strong> continues to innovate in“green” as well, uniquely offering thebest workflow for sustainable design,integrated into its BIM authoring tool.With <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>, you create a 3D BuildingInformation Model — all the necessarydocumentation and images are createdautomatically. New, priority-basedjunctions and intelligent buildingmaterials ensure correct graphicalrepresentation of elements and materialsin sections (cut fills), surfaces in 3D views,and thermal properties throughout thebuilding energy evaluations. <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>offers a native BIM design anddocumentation workflow for Renovationand Refurbishment projects common indeveloping parts of the world. <strong>ArchiCAD</strong>’spowerful view setting possibilities, itsunique drawing handling, together withthe integrated publishing capabilities,ensure that printing or saving the variousdrawing sets of a project won‘t requireextra time and will be derived from thesame Building Information Model.2AC17_8P_SP.indd 229/05/13 11:44 AM
