Digital Squirrel

I searched digital squirrel on Google on a whim and actually came across a pretty interesting design firm. Digital Squirrel, which is located in Ohio, specializes in digital architecture. They use high end rendering software, at least they claim it is, to create designs for customers. They also do theme parks and do work in theater. I found this interesting because I have never heard much about digital architecture. It seems when I see an architect on TV that they are always doing everything by hand which just doesn't make much since in the digital age. After looking at digital architecture on Wikipedia, it seems that it really has some clear benefits over traditional architecture. A digital architect doesn't have to worry as much about complex computations because the computer will do them for you. I think that a digital architect is the wave of the future. Of course there will probably always be traditional architects, but I think the benefit of saving time and money and not necessarily cutting down on quality really make digital architecture stand out.
