While the upheaval of the last year has been persistent and far reaching, our years of experience navigating uncertainty have served us well, and set us up to engage with new challenges while continuing to address the long term societal changes that define our work.
Jennifer Bradley of the Aspen Institute has compiled a series of key guidelines and priorities for implementing our vision for multidimensional infrastructure in real world contexts. Read the first key insight below, and to see the second two, read the full post on Aspen's website.
By pursuing work that so clearly illustrates the ties between the built environment and social and economic outcomes, MASS Design’s strategic mindset is implicitly aware of the social, physical, and technological factors that inform multidimensional infrastructure.
