PAYETTE, in collaboration with Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, is one of the finalists in a competition to design a new Biomedical Research Building for the Feinberg School of Medicine on the Northwestern University’s Chicago campus.
The PAYETTE and Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture entry envisions a luminous, transparent and highly sustainable environment for research. The proposed tower will present itself within the city skyline, announcing Northwestern to Lake Michigan, and will serve as a platform for the university’s future expression of their research and their architecture.

This year’s studio identifies seven sites along the frayed edges of Boston’s Greenway. The Greenway is a one-mile-long linear park running through the heart of the city, reconnecting downtown Boston with its waterfront. Many of the parcels along its edges remain undeveloped and present mute, blank facades to the public realm. Addressing and repairing these edges through acts of infilling, layering, grafting, framing, and placemaking is the core focus of the studio—SUTURE.
