Executing exceptional architectural design at the leading edge of environmental, behavioral and social performance.
Our firm’s depth of expertise in high technology buildings has produced a body of boldly original and exquisitely crafted buildings that are as profoundly humane in their accommodation of vital social needs as they are pioneering in their pursuit of energy and environmental performance. For over 90 years, PAYETTE’s practice has been directed almost exclusively towards technologically and programmatically complex buildings: laboratories for science and health sciences research; hospitals, ambulatory care buildings and other healthcare facilities; and higher education facilities for science and medicine. These complex building types require a mastery of program and associated technological requirements.
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!
