Hi CM Chicago! We hope everyone is getting excited for this month’s event on Friday, March 21 at CannonDesign. We wouldn’t be able to do these events without people like them. To shed a little more light on who they are and what they are about we wanted to share this post. 

CannonDesign is a design firm specializing in the planning, design, and engineering of the built environment. Their Chicago studio is home to interdisciplinary practices that shape the way we live, work, and learn. This month our event will be hosted by TheThirdTeacher+ of the education studio, the cities group, and the workplace interiors practice.

TheThirdTeacher+ is a collaborative within the CannonDesign education studio that uses design to shape the teaching and learning experience. Read more about the origin of this mindset in our book, TheThirdTeacher. The goal with The Third Teacher book was to show that the design of a school is intrinsically linked to learning. The book lives on as a tool for participatory design, giving a common language to designers and communities.

If you are interested in working for CannonDesign Chicago, check here for updates. They are currently hiring for corporate interior designers and marketing coordinators.

Don’t forget to register this coming Monday, March 17th at 11AM to reserve your spot. We hope to see you all there!
