PAYETTE is thrilled to be featured in Architect Magazine’s Carbon Issue, published this month. This important issue, guest edited by Architecture 2030, is a call to action on climate change to the architectural community.
The first article, “Using Data to Create Tech Tools”, makes note of data tools developed by both PAYETTE’s Space Strategies and Building Design Groups. Andrea Love is quoted, and the Building Science Group’s Glazing and Winter Comfort Tool is featured as an example of how the development of open source tools is advancing the architectural profession. An image of the Carl J. Shapiro Science Center at Brandeis University is also included in the article.
A second article in the issue, “Five Construction Details to Reduce Embodied and Operational Carbon”, features the curtainwall system at Tufts University’s Science and Engineering Complex. Andrea Love is also quoted.
The 2025 OpenLAB Boston studio work will be exhibited at Virginia Tech Monday, March 2nd through Wednesday, March 4th.
Please join us for the following events on Monday, March 2nd:

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.
