Payette’s Women in Design (WiD) group was initiated in 2001 by Sho-Ping Chin, former Principal and long-time advocate for women in architecture and design. This year, Elizabeth Cox joins Elizabeth Cooney as co-chair, with Sarah Lindenfeld serving as the Principal Advisor. We are all honored to carry on Sho-Ping’s legacy as champions for women as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of WiD!
The group promotes the professional development and advancement of women at Payette through regular dialogues that encourage teamwork, collaboration and learning in an atmosphere of collegiality. The group’s primary goal is to provide a forum for professional interests and common concerns in order to advance the professional careers of women in the firm.
To celebrate this 20-year milestone, we will feature the many contributions of women at Payette throughout the year. Look for highlights on design, marketing, technology, building science and all the related work it takes to produce beautiful buildings of noble purpose.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center recently completed a new inpatient building in the heart of Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. A rich texture and palette of materials adorn the wall along the base of the building. Polished black granite forms the watercourse and seat walls, warm gray granite is used on the large wall panels, and an alternating texture of black granite, green glazed terracotta, and weathered steel is applied to the vertical recesses between the granite wall panels.
This design accentuates key elements in the landscape and introduces an intimate human scale and craftsmanship to the pedestrian realm.
