The promise of architecture

We believe in the power of architecture to solve today’s biggest problems. We see it every day. In projects of every size and across the globe, architects are finding bold ways to deliver for their clients and to keep going no matter how great the challenge.  

You are our inspiration, so we’re working by your side to deliver powerful architecture software and solutions that help connect the dots between your vision and a job well done. 

Why architects choose Autodesk

  • “Using BIM for calculation, we reduced the number of panel types from 446 to only 73, a reduction of more than 80%.” 

    Xie Lijie, Project Architect, BIAD 

  • “We can use BIM technology in the design process to coordinate and integrate with other disciplines and experts.”

    Katrina Urbanik, Founder and Principal of Katrina Urbanik AS

  • “Decision-making on the design portion of the project was 10 times faster than a traditional approach.” 

    Esmail Kalaf, Manager of Design Technology, DIALOG
