architecture
that’s built to heal
As co-founder and CEO of MASS Design Group, Michael
Murphy envisions and creates community-centric structures
with healing built into their core.
A
rchitecture
is more than
a clever
arrangement
of bricks. In
this eloquent
talk, Michael
Murphy
shows how
he and his
team look far beyond the
blueprint when they’re
designing. Considering
factors from airflow to light,
theirs is a holistic approach
that produces community
as well as (beautiful)
buildings.
He takes us on a tour of
projects in countries such
as Rwanda and Haiti, and
reveals a moving, ambitious
plan for The Memorial to
Peace and Justice, which he
hopes will heal hearts in
the American South.
