Catherine Johnson - Radical Pragmatism: Sketches from an evolving practice

Catherine Johnson, AIA Co-Founder and Principal of Design, Bitches will present her work and how it has evolved over time, what makes a good client, and how they are adapting to the current economic environment while expanding the scope of architectural practice. She will discuss her unique voice and the benefits of a collaborative working process to building a body of work. 

Known for blending creative risk-taking with pragmatic design, Johnson focuses on architectural longevity and reimagining the future of “home”. Catherine is a founding member of the University of Oregon Interior Architecture Advisory Council, has served on the ACLA community outreach committee, and as a Walsh Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Oregon.  She has been a visiting critic at USC, UCLA & SciArc among others, and lectures regularly in the United States and abroad.
