This past weekend marked the fifth biennial AIA Women’s Leadership Summit. This two-day event grew out of an initiative originating in Boston under the leadership of Sho-Ping Chin FAIA. Sean David Burke published a summary of the weekend’s events for Architect Magazine in Carve Your Own Path and Other Takeaways From AIA WLS 2015. In 2006, Sho-Ping founded the Women Principals Group through the Boston Society of Architects and from that effort grew the Women’s Leadership Summit. At the conference this year, Heather Taylor AIA presented a video about Sho-Ping’s career and influence on the profession produced by the Women Principals Group at the Boston Society of Architects and Duncan Lake.
The video includes interviews with colleagues at PAYETTE as well as the original members of the Women Principals Group.
We are honored to share PAYETTE has received two 2026 Green Good Design Awards from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies—Land’s Sake Farm and The Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard.
“Green GOOD DESIGN identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable design and works to develop a public awareness program that informs the general public about which global companies are doing the best job in ecological and sustainable design for our world. Architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning projects, as well as product, packaging, and graphic design projects from over 30 nations were honored with the 2026 Green GOOD DESIGN Award.”
