The Boston Globe’s new publication focused on health, medicine and life sciences, STAT, published an article exploring the ways the laboratory environment is being redefined in the Kendall Square biotech hub [In Kendall Square, architects compete to redefine the laboratory]. The companies often demand workspaces with opportunities for collaboration alongside state-of-the-art lab facilities. With more than 4 million SF completed in Kendall Square and another 3 million SF to be added in the next decade, there’s a lot of square footage to design. The article covers the highly competitive design opportunities available in Kendall Square and includes quotes from PAYETTE’s Jim Collins Jr. FAIA as well as photos from our recently completed project for Ipsen in Kendall Square.

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.
