NY Times:"Revit Architecture, the industry standard"

Maybe eveyone knew or suspected this aready but it's different when the grey lady says it:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/11/business/11gehry.html?_r=1&ref=technology

This is a fascinating article but here is the money quote:

Architects routinely use modeling software, but the latest version of Digital Project would enable them to try extreme designs for skyscrapers. While acknowledging that the Gehry software is impressive, Carl Galioto of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, a firm that has designed many skyscrapers, says that it is hard to learn and three or four times as expensive as a conventional modeling program. Revit Architecture, the industry standard from Autodesk, is listed at $5,495 on Autodesk’s Web site.

Was it Goering, Hitler's PR man, who said that any lie repeated enough times becomes the truth?

Usually non existant GS US marketing ... what, no US firms that build skyscrapers use ArchiCAD, the most trusted VB application on the planet?

maybe Digital Project is feasible now that the average American understands how much a Trillion Dollars is.

It is just a pile of crap...
BTW I remember a short time ago that US financial press was selling Investment Bank model as the industry leading standard from Walls Street. I would really rephrase Andy Warhol here: everyone will hold the industry standard for 15 minutes... 😉

So you can say, safe on your island in the sun where Archicad still has a chance.

The tremulous clouds of Mordor cast not their shadows on Australia, but here in North America, closer, as we are, to the "Mass Modeled" towers of Sauron, the Orcs march on relentlessly, clouding the vision of architects and putting their greasy mitts around the throats of BIM users.

"Allegiance or Death," they demand. "We will deny you all the peripherals - good luck ever getting an energy study!"

The Minas Tirith has not fallen yet and an energy study can be obtain without wrongdoing of Orcs commanded by The Big Eye.
