What if architecture could do more than shape buildings—what if it could help heal communities, restore ecosystems, and create a more abundant future?

Join us at the Harvard COOP for a conversation celebrating Seeking Abundance: Design, Ecology and a Flourishing Planet , an inspiring new book from MASS Design Group that reimagines the role of design in addressing some of our world's greatest challenges.

Through stunning visual essays, including photography by Gael Vande Weghe and other photographers documenting the changing landscapes of Sub-Saharan Africa, Seeking Abundance explores how architecture can foster resilience, equity, and environmental regeneration.

Discover the story behind MASS Design Group's groundbreaking 300-acre university campus in Rwanda—one of the world's first truly regenerative universities—and learn how the One Health philosophy connects the well-being of people, animals, and the planet.

Whether you're passionate about architecture, sustainability, design, or creating a better future, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
