Your Present

The place where
futures are woven

Before an idea becomes a technology, product or system, a world has already begun to take form. It is woven from assumptions about people, the relationships between them,

and the life that will unfold around it.

Humane Future Ecologies™ explores this living interval, where ideas, technologies and living environments shape one another and worlds are woven into experience. Since 2009, this inquiry has moved through cities, products, universities and public discourse, returning to the same question:

How does what we create create us back?

Environments emerge through relationships

Some unfold between people. Others between worlds.

Two living ecologies.

Inter-Human
Experience™

A living field, the place where the self meets itself, and recognizes another.

Inter-
Ecology™

A living field, the space where ecologies touch, respond, and reshape one another.

Every world leaves conditions
for another to grow

New relationships can open new ways of living

Imagine these principles taking shape in the world becoming places people can help define, shape and bring to life together

From vision to practice

From vision
to practice

In 2015, Alexandra Oxenoid founded The CityMakers an early urban innovation model and platform built around a vision of the city as a shared living environment, shaped with its residents.

Through a pilot in Holon, with the Rask-Agrobank community and the participation of the Municipality of Holon, the platform connected residents, local institutions and municipal actors around shared initiatives, volunteering and everyday urban life.

The CityMakers gave early form to an approach that would become more widely recognised in the years that followed: the city as a place people create together.

A practice
shaped over time

Alexandra Oxenoid, founder of Humane Future Ecologies™, explores how ideas become living environments and who we become within them.

For more than fifteen years, this inquiry has taken shape through products, the civic initiative The CityMakers, university teaching and public writing. Her work in strategy and design has cultivated an attention to what is already woven into things before we take them for granted: assumptions about people, possibilities for connection and ways of living.
