That can be modeled with ArchiCAD and perhaps better than with other programs, depending on what it is you are after.
The thing is, there is no such thing as Free Form in a real structure unless it's adobe or something. Components are fabricated, engineered...
Those components can of course be assembled any way you like. But even their assembly is rarely free-form. They may look free-form but they are probably precisely dimensioned and constructed.
ArchiCAD is for making construction documents, working drawing...transforming things free-form into things that can be constructed, fabricated, etc...
Not everyone will agree with me about that, that is just my own idea.
So then, if you want to actually make a set of working drawings for something like that. Yes, ArchiCAD is the best tool I know of for doing that. And it can all be done with ArchiCAD. I am not saying that it would be efficient to make this with ArchiCAD. Just that you could.
On the other hand, if all you want to do is make some pretend shapes that are not really useful for shop drawings, then there are other programs that could do that easier. However, even if that is all you want to do, ArchiCAD can make what your showing.
If your interested in either way, I could give you some tip on how to go about doing it with ArchiCAD.
Since you already have the Geometry you need, the first step is to get that geometry into ArchiCAD.
