« 'Beyond the Building' speaks to the core values we have held since MASS began five years ago. Our 2014 theme articulates the end goal of our projects: that we work within communities to improve lives through architecture. We do that through architecture's processes, but in our own way: local partners and materials, sustained economic impact, and better health through design.».
«Finally, the end of construction is in many ways a beginning. We evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impacts of the design and construction process to prove the value of architecture in improving people’s lives.» MASS Design Group.
