Join the Boston Society of Architects for part of the Business of Architecture series later this month for More than 140 Characters: social media + architecture. PAYETTE’s Karen Robichaud will moderate a panel discussion exploring the potential of social media as it applies to the architecture profession.
Critic and Harvard Graduate School of Design Loeb Fellow Alexandra Lange encourages architects to take a Philip Johnson approach to social media–showcase what inspires you, what challenges you, what design pilgrimages you’ve taken. Don’t wait to be asked, she says. Write the first draft of history now.
Social media can open doors to new relationships, build trust and community. At PAYETTE’s we’ve been talking about the connection economy, what it means and how it impacts us. In this discussion, the panelists will discuss the potential of Twitter, blogs and other platforms for architects as individuals and firm representatives, and how to balance personal, professional, and the in-between.

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!
