To celebrate Pride Month, we collaborated with our newest Studio member (aka Robot Arm), who is yet to be named, to create this vibrant light art. This striking image was made using LED lights and long exposure on the camera.
What should we name our newest team member? Any ideas?

We are excited to share photos from the “topping off” ceremony for the University of Utah’s Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine that took place on Tuesday. The Eccles Family (donors), President Taylor R. Randall, leadership from U Health and Health Sciences, along with our partners VCBO and Jacobsen, were all present to sign the final beam.
 
“This innovative new building will be the cornerstone of our U of U Health campus, embodying the extraordinary and generous legacy of the Eccles family and their foundations” - Taylor R. Randall, president of the U.

Our first Yazdani Studio of CannonDesign volunteer event this year took us to SCI-Arc !

We were one of the 86 booths across different design disciplines to participate this year! Celebrating Design with our community as well as honoring who was the 1st African American woman to become a licensed architect in the state of CA + NYC!!!

The Block Partry event brought a community of students, educators, and design professionals together to raise public awareness regarding the role of architectural design.
Once a year connects professionals to students across many experience levels to create a mentorship platform and to introduce interest in design professions as well as encourage retention of diverse design professionals at all stages of their careers.
