Research & Strategy
Complex questions brought to their core and translated into ideas & concrete strategies.
Every transition begins with a new narrative: a vision of the future firmly anchored in the present. Together with partners we investigate complex issues and bring them back to their core. We always look at systems as a whole and from all perspectives: of people and nature alike.
We analyse trends and identify opportunities for innovation. We provide strategies that turn new ideas into concrete results.
Research and vision development for the City of Amsterdam, exploring the city as a regenerative ecosystem. The project resulted in design principles, models and policy proposals that help the city transform towards a regenerative society.
An initial design vision for a holistic centre dedicated to healing, education and community building. The Taralena Center explores how Integral Theory and regenerative principles can be translated into architectural and landscape design.
Concept & Design
Innovative concepts, systems and places that shape the regenerative society.
As a creative studio we design regenerative concepts: from digital services to spatial interventions. For us there is no separation between the physical and digital domain — both are needed in the transition to a new narrative. Technology is never a goal in itself, but a means.
In our toolkit we combine regenerative methods such as permaculture, systems thinking and biobased design with innovation techniques such as design thinking and lean startup.
Co-creation & Realisation
Guiding groups and organisations in co-creation, both in vision and concept and in execution.
In a fragmented and complex world we focus attention on what truly matters. We guide groups and organisations in co-creation, with interactive and experiential working methods that activate collective creative power.
We translate vision and concept into concrete programmes and projects. We form coalitions and work together with a broad network of partners.
A workshop in Almere Oosterwold where residents, farmers, civil servants and developers came together to explore new forms of collaboration. Protopia Studio guided the process and brought government and developers into dialogue with resident initiatives.
