Design cost awareness

"Design cost awareness" promises to be a key route to limiting cost and time overruns that plague the building industry. With virtual modeling solutions, the architect can now play a more active role in the design-build process. >>

The end of drawing?

These days, technology is readily available that can radically change the very fundamentals of architectural design. But are we ready to think and view differently? Portuguese architect Miguel Krippahl is passionate to see the pen’s prominence in architecture blunted. >>

High-tech unites with high nature

An immersive learning camp was held recently in California, combining the realities of natural with virtual challenges of modeling buildings. With the next event starting today, we report on this novel approach to ArchiCAD improvement, and its results. >>

A new Artlantis

The new Artlantis R renderer is making waves with its one-click radiosity. This is the ultimate tool to easily create high quality, still renderings. We look at what’s bright and beautiful. >>

Upbeat and international

The key UK virtual modeling event of the year drew the most global attendees ever. Nottingham University saw them share Best Practice, be inspired and learn about the critical advantages that a virtual approach – be it in 3D or 5D – can bring to the industry. >>

IRON insights

In his regular "IRON insights" piece, architect JT Burk looks at how to develop the ideal colored view of your model using the Sketch Render Engine. You use the color image of the model itself as the background! >>

A generation ahead

An architectural forum arranged by Graphisoft brought a panel of leading architects to discuss the trends and challenges of virtual building design and construction. Workflow efficiency, creativity within the virtual space and winning fairer fee structures ensured a lively debate. >>
