==Design approach==
CannonDesign employs a design approach it created called Living-Centered Design. The approach addresses the complex interdependencies that exist between people, businesses, communities, society and the environment. Inspired by the best attributes of [[human-centered design]], [[systems thinking]] and traditional architectural and engineering processes, Living-Centered Design solves challenges through the lens of the broader ecosystems they exist within—helping organizations and communities realize more impactful, systemic change.<ref>{{cite web | title=Living-Centered Design | website=CannonDesign | date=2020-01-27 | url=https://www.cannondesign.com/livingcentereddesign/ | access-date=2020-10-21}}</ref>
