What's going to happen with GC?

The future of Generative Components is still safe.

Most people's reaction to the news that Robert Aish has resigned from Bentley and is joining Autodesk is "Well what happens to GC now?". As you may imagine this was indeed the reaction of myself and the members of the SmartGeometry Group....

Recommended Reading: Architectural Geometry

Buy the Bentley Institute Press "Architectural Geometry" from the EatyourCAD bookshop...

"Architectural Geometry is the first book to introduce a revolutionary new approach to design.

Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the actual construction. Modern constructive geometry provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes. This results in new challenges for architecture. However, the architectural application also poses new problems to geometry. Architectural geometry is therefore an entire research area, currently emerging at the border between applied geometry and architecture."
