Challenge description
To celebrate the latest Archicad library update, we are happy to launch the ArchiPET challenge, highlighting the new 2D people & animals arriving to our global libraries!
The goal is to leverage the updated Archicad 29 library through inspiring visuals that show how these fellows inhabit and enjoy the space you designed.
Every good trick deserves a treat!
Our jury will select the challenge highlights to award:
- Invitation to a roundtable with product manager Magdolna Marosvári and designer Karola Menyhárt to talk workflows, use cases, and behind-the-scenes of the library developments.
- For those of you who add your own pets as a custom image in the new objects, we will select up to 5 pets from the winning entries (birds, cats, or dogs) to be included in the official Archicad library.
- Exclusive Graphisoft Learn perks: 3 months of Learn Archicad! or 50% discount on BIM Manager/BIM Coordinator programs. Local conditions apply.
- Global spotlight: Promotion of selected works on Graphisoft’s official social media channels, Insights blog, and an exclusive Community badge in your profile!
