==History==
'''CDFM<sup>2</sup> Architecture Inc.''' and '''Heinlein Schrock Stearns''' [merged](/source/mergers_and_acquisitions) in 2004 to form '''360 Architecture'''. At the time, CDFM<sup>2</sup> was a firm of sixty [architect](/source/architect)s, interior architects, [interior design](/source/interior_design)ers, [3D](/source/3D_computer_graphics) [illustrator](/source/illustrator)s and [graphic design](/source/graphic_design)ers working in the corporate, developer service, government, and higher education markets. Heinlein Schrock Stearns was a firm of thirty-six architects and designers focused on [collegiate](/source/college_athletics), [minor](/source/minor_league)- and [major-league sports](/source/Major_professional_sports_leagues_in_the_United_States_and_Canada) and commercial, residential and retail/entertainment projects. The merger combined thirty-four years of firm experience into 360 Architecture (CDFM<sup>2</sup> founded in 1980 and Heinlein Schrock Stearns founded in 1995).
