This week, architects criticised Autodesk's Revit BIM software

This week on Dezeen, a group of 17 of the UK's leading architecture studios wrote a letter to American software maker Autodesk criticising the cost and lack of development of its Revit application.

In the letter, the architecture studios, which included Zaha Hadid ArchitectsGrimshaw and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, stated that the rising cost of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software Revit was damaging their businesses.

"Where once Autodesk Revit was the industry enabler to smarter working, it increasingly finds itself a constraint and bottleneck," it said.

In response to the letter, Autodesk vowed that it would listen to the feedback from its customers and would make addressing their concerns its "top priority".
