foma presents Dr. Jean Pape and film “Design That Heals”
Thursday evening, 7:30 pm, April 15, 2021

 

Germane to the mission of the European Modern Movement, design was used as a means to heal a wounded world and build community. The Friends of Modern Architecture/Lincoln is pleased to present the 23-minute film featuring Dr. Jean William Pape, a Haitian doctor who has dedicated his life to fighting infectious diseases and collaborated with MassDesign when the 2010 devasting earthquake killed over 200,000 people in Haiti, and then experienced the largest cholera outbreak in modern history 10 months later. He asked MassDesign “to create a structure that could be adapted to the needs of the people, that would have some kind of dignity, that is fully Haitian.” The Boston-based non-profit design firm responded to these unprecedented needs in a timely manner, employing local businesses and artisans to build an enlightened structure that was smart, adaptable, and brought a level of respect to health care workers and their patients and families.

We are honored to have Dr. Pape join us from Haiti after the Zoom presentation to answer questions. Now age 75, he is the founder and director of GHESKIO, a network of clinics whose immediate focus is on developing diagnosis and treatment approaches that are both effective and practical in light of Haiti’s extremely limited resources. He is a professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.
