Can a building help stem the tide of large
epidemics? Haitian infectious disease specialist Dr. Jean-William Pape has
dedicated much of his life to combating diarrheal diseases that harm and kill
Haiti’s poor, many of whom lack access to clean water, toilets and latrines. In
the midst of the world’s worst cholera outbreak in over a century, Dr. Pape
challenged MASS Design Group to design a cholera treatment center where the
construction process, as well as the finished building, could address the
underlying structural and social conditions that allow cholera to thrive. |

| Cas Holman in Practice Directed by Remy Weber and Nick Zeig-Owens 2016 / 3 min / USA
This
short film explores the work of Cas Holman, a designer focused on
empowering children through play. For Cas, design is a means to an end:
not about the object, but what the object facilitates. The ideal toy,
says Cas, is a tree and a pile of mud, sand, sticks and water - and the
best toys encourage the same spirit of constructive play.
Presented by A/D/O as part of a four piece series premiering at ADFF.

This short film is about the challenges of building responsibly in a
remote location. The filmmakers spent five days on-site at Casa Caldera, just
miles from the U.S.- Mexico border in southern Arizona, exploring the poetics
of the space and the terrain with Cade Hayes and Jesus Robles of the
design/build firm D U S T.
