Graphisoft’s new architecture for Architecture
Summary
Graphisoft’s Archicad product is 40 years old, but has continued to develop over its four decades: from 16-bit to 32-bit to 64-bit, the addition of Windows, its support for multi-threading, and for artificial intelligence, Apple Metal and Silicon, other capabilities. At Graphisoft’s recent 40th birthday party, VP of product development Zsolt Kerecsen gave attendees some insight into the major software architecture changes yet to come. We had so many really big applications like SAP or Oracle, and software companies realised that this monolithic code, after 20 years of development, became huge mountains — not easy to manage, to modify, to find bugs, to re-architect or rewrite. Marton Kiss for Graphisoft (MK): If you think about Archicad in terms of that human body analogy, then at the right time, it’s critical to be able to recreate certain parts, when it makes sense. MK: Let me give you an example of how we think about technology trends: a couple of days ago, Microsoft quietly announced its Windows ARM development kit.
