David Saladik, a MASS cofounder, is seen in the middle
(above) working with GBS,
the architect of record for the
tuberculosis hospital in Haiti,
and the construction team to
review foundation designs.
MASS manufactured the compressed stabilized earth blocks
with community members and
partner 1,000 Jobs Haiti.
The tuberculosis hospital
(renderings, right), due to be
complete later this year, is innovatively designed with lowcost passive systems to create
airflow and dissipate heat gain.
The lushly landscaped courtyard and open air gathering
spaces provide opportunities
for social engagement among
patients undergoing long
courses of treatment in open
air environments where the
risk of transmission is low.
