Can Architecture Heal? Building as Instruments of Health
In the work of MASS Design Group, form follows facts. Mortality rates in some of the world's most deprived areas are being exacerbated by poor architectural provision, which allows disease to run rife in healthcare settings and causes medical professionals to flee. Yet thoughtful design can improve physician retention rates, encourage people to seek medical assistance, and improve their health prospects when they do – all at relatively little cost. MASS members Michael Murphy and Jeffrey Mansfield here outline projects of theirs in Rwanda, Malawi and Haiti that have made an inestimable difference to the communities they serve.
