As part of a recent trip to Basel, Switzerland for a project in Skolkovo, Russia — a small team from PAYETTE was able to visit some amazing architecture in the area. Some of these included:
- City of Basel, Switzerland
- Beyeler Foundation – Renzo Piano
- Vitra Furniture – Herzog & deMeuron and a project by Frank Gehry
- Ronchamp – Le Corbusier and Renzo Piano

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!
