We are pleased to announce we have been selected for the Physical Sciences Division, Institute for Molecular Engineering and Computation Institute Strategic Planning Study at the University of Chicago. This study will develop a detailed space program and scope for a New Research Building in the campus science precinct, as well as examine realigning and reorganizing the spaces within multiple existing science facilities. We will work with University stakeholders to co-author a long-term plan for the growth and expansion of science research, with the added goal of creating collaborative synergy among the many departments.
Sandrine Héroux, Sophie McKenzie, and Emily Chowdhury are each members of our in-house Fabrication team. Their day-to-day work centers on a simple question: what changes when design becomes something people can physically test?
These women challenge the notion of fabrication as a support service, framing it instead as an essential component of architectural authorship, a way to test ideas, share agency, and widen the boundaries of what architectural practice can include.
In our most recent blog, they discuss their individual paths in architecture and reflect on their experience using fabrication as a tool for fostering shared agency, community engagement and broadening the role of the architect. Link in bio!
