Kieran Wong in conversation with Alan Ricks

Founding Principal, MASS Design Group
Alan Ricks

Kieran Wong’s interview with Alan Ricks is full of the sort of sharp observations that make you want to pull out a journal and write them down for later. Ricks is a Founding Principal at Boston-based MASS Design Group, a not-for-profit architectural studio with a radical approach to practice and projects.

The interview is the first in a series curated in lieu of the 2020 National Architecture Conference.

We did a study of how others were doing socially impactful work, and we tried to figure out how to hack the system.
