Abstract

MICHAEL MURPHY LOOKS THE PART of a successful, Harvard-trained architect. He is tall and carefully groomed, thoughtful and articulate. He runs a bustling design office with lots of architectural character in Boston’s Back Bay, a stone’s throw from the city’s iconic Public Garden. He doesn’t have a Boston accent, but his speech is careful and somewhat formally structured, almost like a building in which he carefully orchestrates which door, to which room, he will open next.
