Overview: Prepare to be inspired! With more than thirty projects built or under construction and some 200,000 people served, MASS Design Group has pioneered an immersive approach in the practice of architecture that provides the infrastructure, buildings, and physical systems necessary for growth, dignity, and well-being, while always engaging local communities with attention to the specifics of cultural context and social needs.
Join the firm’s founding Principal and Chief Design Officer, Alan Ricks, AIA, Int FRIBA for a presentation entitled: Justice is Beauty, highlighting MASS’s first decade of designing, researching, and advocating for an architecture of justice and human dignity.
