Happy Earth Day!
It is no small coincidence that the Groundbreaking Ceremony for Duke Environment Hall was held today to mark the occasion of the upcoming building addition to the Nicholas School of the Environment. George Marsh and Daniel Gonzalez Brenes attended the ceremony.
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!
