Abstract: The article focuses on architect Michael Murphy's new firm, Agency Michael Murphy and Associates (AMMA), which aims to create equitable financial ownership in architectural projects. After stepping down from MASS Design Group, which he co-founded, Murphy initiated AMMA to explore innovative financing for cultural and institutional projects, exemplified by the Oceana Innovation Hub in Barbados. This project serves as a prototype for a broader educational transformation and emphasizes sustainable timber sourcing and community involvement. Murphy discusses the importance of adapting architectural practices to foster ownership and economic independence within communities. [Extracted from the article]
