what's going on
project
Characterised as anything from temples of learning to instruments of democracy, libraries and their potential futures appeal to the imagination. What kind of places could memory institutions like libraries be in the future? Which roles could they fulfil in people's everyday lives? To which new meanings could they give rise? These and other questions we have been exploring together with a select, yet diverse, group of people at the Brussels-based Muntpunt. […]

what we offer
We enrich the imagination
We use futures as a way to enlarge and enrich the imagination space, as a source to inspire better, more future-proof organizations, products, services and systems.
We spark debate
Through writings, lectures, objects and other home-brewed speculative experiences, we inspire people and organisations to debate future developments. We enable them to explore and jointly understand the challenges and new meanings these developments bring about.
We reframe challenges
We design and facilitate participatory processes to take our clients on a journey to explore and act upon future challenges. To do so we use homemade, design-flavored methods as well as more traditional approaches such as scenario-analysis and systems thinking. We help each client envision the kind of player they wish to be in tomorrow's markets and societies, as well as the pathways to achieve that position.
We catalyse change
We support communities and organisations to tackle challenges by co-envisioning new tomorrows. We help set the stage and create the conditions for co-designing innovative and engaging solutions to bring about positive change.
We make
We make the future tangible through narratives, objects and spaces as to transform perceptions and enable better ways to anticipate possible tomorrows today.
We train
We train people in the methods and techniques to explore and envision the future from within or across their organizations.
