| E07 Dining at the Firms: Payette 05/14/2008, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM 285 Summer Street (Red Line-South Station) Founded in Boston in the 1930s, Payette is one of the leading architecture firms specializing in the programming, planning, and design of complex buildings for science, health, and education. With a practice based upon a problem-solving approach, we strive for innovation by understanding the subtle nuances of a client's site, program needs, and technological aspirations. We have a very optimistic view of the architect's power to make a positive impact upon their communities and strive to push beyond the design of environments that merely work to shape places that are inviting and foster dialogue and interaction. Our award-winning buildings are often praised by grateful occupants who teach, do research, and treat patients in spaces filled with light and open views, spaces both for quiet thinking and for collaborative exchange. Learn more about Payette at www.payette.com. We invite you to stop by to join us for dinner and a tour of our studios. We'd love to show you the work we currently have on the boards for such clients as Columbia University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Penn State Hershey Medical Center, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Biogen Idec. After dinner, we will enjoy a walk in the historic Fort Point Channel area. E07 Wednesday, 6:30-9 p.m., $125 |
