As technology shifts the knowledge base from traditional hierarchical firm structures and mentorship to distributed models, how do firms redesign their practices, processes and organization to respond to this rapid change? Mithun’s new practitioners will share their observations and the organization of their firm’s new leadership at Design Practice in Flux: Building a Dynamic Practice with “Next Generation” Designers during WASLA Conference 2016 – Imagine Tomorrow.

Christian Runge will moderate a lively panel discussion featuring fellow Mithun designers Chuck McDowell, Caitlin Squier-Roper, Martha Cox and Susanna Burrows. Using a range of project examples, panel members will discuss how office and team culture influence interdisciplinary work, the challenges and opportunities to bring research into design practice, share their transitions from academia to the profession and how their fresh perspectives have influenced projects and the firm.
