Planet Vectorworks

There’s nothing like kicking off a new year by celebrating great landscape architecture content! This month, with the inaugural Land8 Social Media Awards for Landscape Architecture, we’re happy to announce one of our first wins of 2019. Hosted by Land8: Landscape Architects Network, the awards named us as a Top 10 Social Media Account for Allied Organizations.

When we say designs are LIT – we mean the LIT Design Awards. This year, Vectorworks CEO Dr. Biplab Sarkar will participate as a Board Member of the award’s jury.  

Whether you attended the 2018 Vectorworks Design Summit and want to relive it in all its glory, or you couldn’t make it and want the inside scoop, here are some highlights from the media who reported on our favorite event of the year.

Earlier this month, 600+ Vectorworks users from 18 countries met in sunny Arizona for three days of indispensable workshops, inspired design, and improved connections. Attendees had access to 90 hours of training, including AIA and ASLA CEU credits.

Robots for the construction industry. Artificial intelligence. Augmented reality. These are just a few of the innovations our CEO, Dr. Biplab Sarkar, recently discussed with Anthony Frausto-Robledo, publisher and editor-in-chief of Architosh.

Imagine a world where lighting fixtures just worked, the first time, every time. During Live Design International (LDI) 2018, we revealed how this can happen. 

To best support and grow our rapidly expanding user base, we have opened a new corporate office in Canada.

Today's the day! Meet the newest versions of Vectorworks Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, Fundamentals, and Designer, as well as Braceworks and Vision. 

Over the years our Design Summit keynote speakers have had one fundamental item in common: they’ve left the hundreds of attendees inspired. This year, the 2018 Vectorworks Design Summit keynote speakers, Architect Antoine Predock and our CEO Dr. Biplab Sarkar, will undoubtedly do the same.

Along with fellow leaders in the entertainment industry, MA Lighting for its lighting control solutions and Robe lighting for its high-quality moving lights, we are deIighted to announce a new development that will change the way lighting designers, fixture manufacturers, console manufacturers, and visualizers will work together. Our companies have joined forces to develop a new data format, named the General Device Type Format (GDTF), which creates a unified definition for the exchange of device data between consoles, CAD, and previsualization software.

The votes for the 2018 BCN AWARDS are in, and we’re happy to share that, for the second year in a row, our Japanese distributor, A&A Co., Ltd., has won a first place award in the CAD software category!
