GRAPHISOFT Spain will train the university’s educators, who in turn will begin training the students on the use of the award-winning architectural software.
Architecture & design students and teachers are entitled to receive the fully-functional education version of Archicad for free. Students and teachers are entitled to 1-year free education licenses of Archicad after showing proof of their education status. In addition, architectural schools and academic institutions are entitled to equip their computer labs with the free academic version of Archicad. Given that BIM is the fastest-growing trend in the AEC design industry, Graphisoft took the lead in developing the first, full-fledged BIM curriculum to support the university education of BIM to students. As a result, the number of universities taking advantage of this opportunity has grown as well. Since GRAPHISOFT began offering free software to students, teachers, and universities through www.myarchicad.com, students are better-equipped to start their careers armed with the knowledge and practical skills they gain through the study of Building Information Modeling.
