  1. It was in that first couple of weeks that I really built these relationships
  2. Bruce and his crew were thinking about architecture completely differently from how I ever had
  3. It was not a good design; we just didn’t know what we were doing
  4. What value is that going to provide?
  5. What could they possibly have been thinking?
  6. They needed to be back there, living on-site, working side by side with PIH and the community
  7. I couldn’t believe that this guy was writing back to me
  8. how little the practices of architecture and design intersected with global health
  9. That access was surprising; he was just so receptive
  10. He was very skeptical
  11. He was literally making everything
  12. This is a terrible idea
  13. It also helped me at least start to hone in on what would be useful for me to do
  14. I really don’t think this is what you want to show
  15. What are you doing here? You’re clearly not here for long enough to make a difference
  16. I was just so inspired
  17. It was this very, very intimate, iterative design process… with medical professionals on a day-to-day basis
  18. No one knew how it should be configured in this remote context
  19. There, if someone needed a chair, Bruce made a chair
  20. There was an expectation that it had to be different
  21. Nizeye’s focus on local labor and local materials made a profound impression on Murphy
  22. Thank goodness Murphy and Shioiri-Clark didn’t listen to me
  23. Over many months and years, the two developed a strong relationship built on trust, hard work, and mutual commitment
  24. I wasn’t burdened by the way architecture is made in the U.S.
  25. It was meaningless. I was also totally failing on the project
  26. I had seen well-intentioned designers parachuting into unfamiliar places to ‘help,’ only to be crushed by the complexity
  27. It’s not the kind of inspiring architecture that we were hoping for
  28. I drew the last clinic on a napkin
  29. They knew how an operating theater at the Brigham should be configured, but no one knew how it should be configured in this remote context
  30. More than designing the building together… they were building relationships rooted in trust and understanding
  31. If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere
