Join author and architect Michael Murphy for a reading and signing of his new book Our World in Ten Buildings: How Architecture Defines Who We Are and How We Live.

From “tomorrow’s greatest designer” (The Atlantic), Our World in Ten Buildings is a personal and deeply researched look at how the choices we build into our environment reflect and determine the way we think, connect, and live.

We've been led to believe that purposefully designed spaces are something reserved only for those who can afford them. But in reality, all the spaces we inhabit—to work, to learn, to heal, and to live—have been planned and built to influence our lives. They sway our emotions, nudge our behaviors, protect us from disease, and do more, or less, to support shared prosperity and our sense of the common good. Our World in Ten Buildings unpacks this hidden but ever more important element of our lived experience. As author and architectural designer Michael Murphy takes us through ten milestone projects in his career he lays bare the physical, political, and intellectual labor at work shaping the world we live in. 

Author Michael P. Murphy is an architect, educator, and writer, and is the founder and president of AMMA, a design and development collaborative focused on the ways in which space shapes our minds, bodies, and communities. In 2007, he founded the architectural non-profit firm, MASS Design Group, and was CEO until 2022, leading the design of their projects including the Butaro Hospital and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice to name a few. He is currently the Thomas Ventulett Chair of Architecture at The Georgia Institute of Technology. Originally from Poughkeepsie, New York, he lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children. 

This program is brought to you in partnership with Merritt Bookstore. Copies of Our World in Ten Buildings will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
