Digital Project (DP)

Digital Project which is known by DB, however, lots of architects have forgotten it original name, encourages many of young architects and Avant-guard architectural offices to carry out outstanding projects. After the new wave of Gehry's office projects since late 80's which have been shaped by CATIA now is the DP's turn.

Some of the small offices who can afford the software are joining to the DP club. However some of them are struggling by usage of other regular 3D softwares like Rahino, 3D studio or even soft image to join the club of rich offices.
Hadid's office is one of the office which uses the Software. Although Hadid started to present her works with a range of Surreal paintings about 20 year age, now there is no news from her paintings! Hadid's office to catch the further steps of career has used the software since late 90's after grabbing the Pritzker Prize.
However the old questions and discussions are still around the issue that if the software is able to calculate every detail of amendments how the architect(s) play their separate roles.

Despite of Lots of professionals who say "Thanks to DP", otherwise Hadid's office couldn't be so successful, I assume we can not underestimate the role of het architects in developing their projects.
