Expanding the Dialogue Beyond Disciplines: Art, Design, and Science
At the heart of Anthrotopia lies the premise that the challenges of our time cannot be met from within the boundaries of a single discipline. The arts, design, and the sciences each cultivate distinct ways of inquiring and interpreting the world – yet their intersection opens new pathways for understanding and transformation.

Three Knowledge Cultures
Art nurtures aesthetic and emotional intelligence. It moves through intuition and imagination, revealing the unseen and challenging the habitual. Science operates through observation, analysis, and the search for patterns and evidence, decoding the mechanisms of the world. Design connects these spheres through its systemic and transformative capacity, employing its own methods of inquiry to translate insights into tangible forms and processes that engage both human and more-than-human perspectives.

Domains of Interaction
Together, these knowledge cultures form the innermost layer of Anthrotopia’s ecosystem of inquiry. Around them unfold diverse domains of interaction – material, technological, ecological, economic, and societal – where ideas take form and enter into dialogue with reality. Encircling these are frames of reflection and responsibility: aesthetics and perception, theory and reflection, ethics and governance, which provide frameworks for sensing, thinking and acting.

Relational Knowledge Ecosystems
Anthrotopia weaves these layers into a living network of relations. It connects the aesthetic, the systemic, and the analytical with the material, ecological, and societal dimensions of life. In doing so, it cultivates relational knowledge ecosystems that embrace complexity, value reflection, and imagine regenerative futures born from collective inquiry and practice.
