MODELING GREEN ENVIRONMENTS Although computer-aided drafting software has indisputably changed the way architects and engineers draw, even more dramatic is the way high-end computer simulations have changed engineering design.

The firm uses many forms of computer modeling, which is essential for low-energy, environmentally sensitive architectural design.
