Luke Johnson, design leader at CannonDesign, is an architect who believes there are opportunities in every project we need to capitalize on through design to better the lives of those we serve, create opportunities to connect one another, connect us to the outdoors, and better connect us to ourselves. As an avid collaborator, he believes that the best ideas come from the creative collision of diverse minds. He’s an active voice in the Buffalo design and nonprofit community, having served as co-president, vice president and, currently, education program chair of the Buffalo Architecture Foundation and its Architecture + Education program.

Architecture + Education

Architecture + Education (A+E) was founded to increase awareness of the built and natural environment and to provide architecture as a multi-disciplinary form of active learning to the Buffalo Public School System. Over the years, A+E has grown its focus to provide a strong program that brings together educators, university students and architects working collaboratively in the classroom with public school students. Over the course of three months, the group brings together architectural principles that coincide with a common core subject being taught in a complementary manner.
