Labs-DEPRECATED

Design research for social and environmental justice.

Systems change cannot happen without cultural change. MASS is bringing design to bear on the most pressing issues of social and environmental justice. We're developing the research, partnerships, and ideas that catalyze this change.

Labs focus on challenges to which MASS can be a unique contributor, often in topic areas where design is not commonly considered a potent agent of change. The most successful projects we have supported are those that facilitate cross-sector collaboration and build domain expertise beyond the building.

An interdisciplinary mix of emergent research, advocacy, and cross-cutting partnerships that focus on challenges to which MASS can be a unique contributor.
