Founded by Chris Wilkinson & Jim Eyre, the practice in 1983 in order to explore new directions in architecture, and has established it as a leading force in the design world. Their approach has best been described in the practice monograph 'Bridging Art & Science' where equal emphasis is given to conceptual creative innovation as it is to detailed technical design. He takes a strategic overview of each project from conception to construction, and a special interest in key projects where his wealth of experience and clear design philosophy are invaluable. Chris also pursues academic interests through teaching, lecturing, writing and painting.

We’re building a movement where architecture creates a better, more beautiful, more just world. MASS immerses itself in the challenges our partners and their constituents face. We develop solutions that are contextually optimized and seek to improve health, economic, and social outcomes – using architecture to build a better, more equitable world.
Stacy Levy's projects show the presence of urban nature and clarify the patterns of natural processes at work on the site. She works with water of all sorts: from acid mine drainage to urban streams and rivers to rainwater. Many of her recent projects utilize storm water runoff, to make rainwater an asset to the site.
