Parke joined Payette in 2015, bringing special expertise in both computational design and digital fabrication. He established Payette’s in-house design research facility, which leverages conventional and digitally controlled tools for wood, composites and metals to enhance our design work. Parke channels his background in the building trades to expand the role of the architect – strategically collapsing the architect/builder divide. Parke frequently consults on issues regarding complex geometry, scripting, and methods of full-scale fabrication and material prototyping. He works across a range of projects within the firm to explore and implement innovative design strategies. With a special interest in the community-building potential of architecture, Parke also leads many of the firm’s pro-bono and outreach initiatives. Parke was previously at NADAAA, where he spearheaded their in-house fabrication and design-research studio.

This year, 10 of our Principals will celebrate their 20+ year work anniversaries with Payette – ranging from Jim Collins’ 42 years of dedication to 20 years for Ching-Hua Ho and Scott Parker, they have committed the majority of their professional lives to Payette. Without the highest level of perfectionism that they put into their work and insightful leadership over the years, Payette would not be where we are today. The strength of our collaboration is borne from decades of designing together, leading together and mentoring new generations. May you continue to inspire us for many years to come! Happy Anniversary!
