Our mission is to research, build, and advocate for architecture that promotes justice and human dignity.
About us
MASS creates well-built environments using appropriate design, local investment, and innovation to break the cycle of poverty. We collaborate with governments, NGOs, private sector firms, and health care experts to advocate for the most underserved and provide scalable models of community-based development and training. MASS Design Group has shown that innovation, driven by interdisciplinary research and immersion in the field, can deliver well-built environments that are efficient, effective, and empowering. By addressing immediate infrastructural needs and simultaneously building systems to address the social determinants of failure, our work constructs agency, serves as an engine for economic growth, and assures long-term sustainability. We build capacity at all levels—from training unskilled laborers to assisting government ministries in writing policies that establish more holistic and appropriate project outcomes.

We had the pleasure of hosting a group of graduate students from the University of San Diego, accompanied by two staff members from MASS Design Group, at ALU Rwanda Campus. The visit kicked off with a meeting between the group and our faculty members who shared insights into ALU’s unique learning model, our programs, and the project-based approach that drives our students learning experiences. The group also enjoyed a campus tour, where the MASS Design team highlighted the architectural design of our campus and how it complements ALU’s unconventional learning model. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to exchange ideas and showcase the impactful work happening at ALU.#ALU #ProjectBasedLearning #InnovativeEducation #ArchitectureAndLearning- +3

MASS Design Group's JJ Carroll Redevelopment is raising the bar on stick-built design. Using conventional wood framing, this 142-unit senior housing project in Boston creates light-filled spaces and “neighborhood” layouts that foster connection. Thoughtful design with deep roots in community.https://hubs.la/Q030wbQG0 - At MASS, we believe design can — and must — do more. It begins with permission to dream - mending wounds from the past while shaping abundant futures for people and planet. We are committed to creating a world where justice, health, beauty, and dignity are accessible to all. But, we can’t do this alone. Together, we can create abundance that serves society. Will you join us to help turn these dreams into reality? Donate to MASS to make an impact in 2025. #DesignThatHeals #AbundantFutures #YearEndGiving #MakeADifference #SupportNonprofits #GiveBack #PhilanthropyMatters #DesignForGood #JoinUs https://lnkd.in/eawsajuS
