The nonprofit collective MASS Design Group astutely understands how to promote equity and hope through the built environment. From its dignified design for the Equal Justice Initiative’s National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, to its thoughtfully integrated hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa—some of which feature in MASS’s upcoming book, The Architecture of Health (Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum), as well as the upcoming Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum exhibition “Design and Healing” (December 10–August 14, 2022)—MASS understands how architecture can impede or advance our collective human rights. (The firm’s founding principal and executive director Michael Murphy elaborated on the links between design and public health on Ep. 13 of our At a Distance podcast.)
