In 2024, development of integrated user experiences will look to create shared capabilities, align interfaces and offer simplified training. In 2023, the key topic area for Architecture, will be integrated BIM data systems, expanding shared models, integrated design and data reservation. This will include addressing issues with OpenBIM and easy information exchange. Starting with Architecture in 2022, the company will focus on providing well-connected BIM workflows. Graphisoft gave us a roadmap for each area of focus.
Productive Ecosystem: which is the support services – Graphisoft Forward, Graphisoft Learn and Graphisoft Community. Design Team Collaboration: including BIMcloud, BIMx, OpenBIM & BCF, and CDE connections. Multi-Disciplinary Design: featuring OpenBIM, integrated design and DDScad (Graphisoft’s MEP solution). Architecture: which covers design, document, visualise and collaborate. Zsolt Kerecsen, vice president of product development and Shesh Gorur, vice president of product success took us through the various roadmaps. Now that core Archicad is going to be the host to multiple verticals, and the offerings will be expanded through additional products and services, this means multiple roadmaps. If we have ever seen an Archicad roadmap before, it would have been for one product. There is also the fact that there is industry concern about the development futures of Archicad’s biggest competitor, Revit, and the fact that Archicad is undergoing significant software architecture changes to better prepare it for tomorrow’s hybrid computing requirements, as well as broader, more multi-disciplinary vertical developments. The change probably has a lot to do with CEO, Huw Roberts, who has been steadily making changes to the way Graphisoft communicates and goes to market. 
We were treated to not just a whole new release, but also four roadmaps of focus areas spanning 2022 to 2025. This year we had something very different. Other than for beta testers, the focus of Archicad development is usually a surprise. When it comes to telling the world about new capabilities developed for Archicad, Graphisoft has traditionally done this once a year, at the launch event of the latest release. CEO Huw Roberts also took on the press in a Q&A
At Graphisoft’s 40th anniversary event, held at its Budapest headquarters, the company set out a roadmap for its technology development for the first time.
