Paul E. Westlake, Jr., FAIA and Phil LiBassi, AIA, ACHA, NCARB will discuss their firm's culture and practice, including research and development, innovation and creativity, design processes, and integration of design disciplines.
- Explore how to maintain a ‘culture of excellence’ that has underpinned the growth of a continuing partnership that has been in operation since 1905.
- Examine how innovation and creativity paired with research and development led from a single discipline, single office practice to multi-discipline, multi-office practice.
- Discuss the business, human resources and practice protocols necessary to compete in the changing landscape of the A/E industry.
- Review how the concept of ‘sustainability’ permeates the design ethos and the related business ‘upside’.
