At the TED

At the TED conference in Vancouver, Michael Murphy, co-founder and CEO of MASS Design Group, discussed architecture's transformative power. Drawing from his father's cancer journey, he highlighted how the built environment can impact community health and wellbeing. Murphy showcased humanitarian projects such as the Butaro Hospital in Rwanda and the GHESKIO Cholera Treatment Center in Haiti.

He posed a key question: "What more can architecture do?" This led his firm to consider how projects could create jobs, source regionally, and invest in community dignity. Murphy concluded by previewing MASS Design Group's collaboration with the Equal Justice Initiative on a national memorial to victims of lynching, asserting that "Great architecture can give us hope. Great architecture can heal."
