C&C and Graphisoft: BIM at the Service of Architecture
A C&C space was dedicated to Graphisoft tools, including Archicad, BIMx, and BIM Cloud, in collaboration with Enscape and BIM Office-Linkioo. It was an opportunity for architects to discover the latest BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies, allowing for better collaboration, visualization, and data management throughout the project lifecycle. BIMx particularly captured the attention of visitors, offering the ability to visualize, annotate, and retrieve information on 3D BIM models on mobile and tablet, or in full immersion with a virtual reality headset. Many participants were impressed by the latter, especially by the ability to experience spaces and project themselves into a project in 3D. Similarly, Enscape allowed participants to discover the power of real-time rendering and interaction with the modeling process. BIM Cloud illustrated how project teams can collaborate in real-time, smoothly and centrally, in a shared work environment.
C&C and Trimble: 3D Modeling and Collaboration with SketchUp
In partnership with Trimble, C&C demonstrated the importance of 3D modeling in architectural projects, highlighting SketchUp, the iconic software used by many architects. Visitors were able to discover and rediscover the advanced features and the latest updates of this tool, while benefiting from practical advice from the Trimble experts present. This space illustrated the importance of SketchUp in the design process, from the creation of initial sketches to detailed 3D modeling, and up to intra/inter-agency collaboration, thus offering real added value to the professionals present.
Vectorworks: Collaboration and BIM Innovation
C&C also teamed up with Vectorworks, alongside Design Express. This partnership allowed for the presentation of the software capabilities of Vectorworks within the framework of BIM project management. A valuable tool for architects and industry professionals, facilitating modeling, data coordination, and information management throughout the development of a project thanks to a centralized platform and efficient integration tools.
A C&C Team Attentive to Professionals' Needs
The C&C Pro Toulouse teams were on site to engage with visitors, answer their questions, and provide all necessary information about industry software, optimizing IT infrastructures, and the personalized support offered by C&C. It was a great opportunity to strengthen ties with the local community of architects and share practical advice on the use of digital tools in service of the profession.
C&C, a Player in the Digital Transformation of Architecture
The 2024 edition of the "Rendez-Vous de l'Architecture" was a great success for C&C, which demonstrated its ongoing commitment to innovation and the development of digital tools for architecture. Through its partnerships with Graphisoft, Trimble, and Vectorworks, C&C provided an enriching experience for industry professionals, while contributing to the evolution of architectural practice through ever more efficient and collaborative solutions. This event confirmed the importance of digitalization in the architecture sector. C&C continues to assist architects in this transformation, with cutting-edge tools and personalized support. A presence that undoubtedly left its mark and highlighted the central place of collaboration in the success of tomorrow's architectural projects.
