Graphisoft, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solution developer for architecture, has announced the full speaker list and agenda for the Building Together 2021 conference.
Scheduled for September 14-16, and offered at no charge, the carefully curated online program will cover a range of topics of interest to today’s AEC professionals and share case studies on how the latest solutions from Graphisoft can help architects and engineers identify and leverage industry trends for business success.
Graphisoft’s core belief in developing tools to empower teams to create great architecture through design, digitalization, and discovery has prompted the company to bring the world’s AEC experts and thought leaders together to share disruptive innovations, ideas, and examples of great architecture — all within the framework of an inspiring and interactive three-day online conference.
“We’ve invited great minds and thought leaders to delve into important topics such as diversity in architecture, rapid rehousing, the future of cities, the changing role of architects, and the challenges of cultural heritage preservation,” said Huw Roberts, Graphisoft CEO.
“We’re also making it easy to connect with other AEC professionals around the world thanks to an innovative networking platform that will connect participants to the discussions and each other,” he added.
Thirty-nine leading architects and experts from around the world will participate — from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Norway, Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United States — in the form of roundtables, keynotes, and short TREND Talks.
To encourage people around the world who have registered for the event to work on an easy design task together using Archicad (no prior software knowledge is needed), Graphisoft will launch the Building Together Design Challenge on September 6, focused on each participant’s personal vision of what the words ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ mean.
The individual models will be imported into a single BIMx file. The challenge lasts through September 24, when Graphisoft will reveal a giant architectural puzzle made up of the submitted designs. Participants are invited to encourage their friends and colleagues to vote for their design — and to submit their own. The 50 designs with the most votes will win valuable prizes.
