Seeking Abundance Book cover

ORO Editions

Seeking Abundance offers a hopeful and actionable vision for the future of architecture, one where balance is viewed as a means to restore and balance, not just build.

This new book from MASS’s Alan Ricks and Sierra Bainbridge examines how the power of multidisciplinary collaboration, regenerative practices, and community engagement can actively contribute to a healthier, more harmonious world.

Abundant Futures / Live 2 Teaser

Abundant Futures / Live is an immersive cultural convening that brought together community leaders, creatives, dreamers, and philanthropists to look boldly toward the world we want to build together. 

Hosted at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston on November 10th, the event featured a full-day event featuring performances, keynote talks, conversations, films and breakout sessions. Together, we imagined a world where wellbeing, belonging, and flourishing formed the shared foundations of an Abundant Future—and collectively renewed the idea that design can be a collective act of care and imagination.

We are thrilled that GBH was our exclusive public media partner for the event.
