If we threw out BIM and rewrote it, what would that look like?

Designers, we see you and we're building for you.

In this series, we have covered the explosion in bridge building in the late 1800s and early 1900s that made New York City what it is today and changed the architectural world forever. ‍We are looking back at some of the projects that started the era of modern city building. 

We continue our Iconic Collaboration series exploring lessons learned from iconic projects and how we can apply them to building design today.

What are Vector Networks? Why are they interesting in a CAD context? Let's check it out!

In this edition of our Iconic Collaborations series, we will look at an important aspect of New York City’s urban landscape, its bridges. We explore the lessons learned from these projects and how we can apply them to building design today.

As slow, clunky, and tedious as it is, documentation has been and likely will continue to be the main deliverable for AEC professionals for the foreseeable future. At Arcol we want to make this process faster, easier, and dare we say…enjoyable?

Explore the growth of Versailles, its intricate planning, and how modern tools solve the same challenges faced by its architects.

We explore how the Palace of Versailles overcame early planning challenges to become an architectural marvel and unpack how the lessons learned are still applicable today.

Discover how Versailles’ evolving design mirrors challenges in today’s architecture and what lessons we can take from this iconic project.

Designing and constructing buildings is inherently a collaborative thing to do, yet if we look at the tools we use in AEC we see that they are actually quite siloed. Why did this happen and how did we get here?

Arcol is a building design and documentation tool that runs in your browser.
