About Us
The Eco-Futures Incubator fosters a number of initiatives to nurture and catalyze the Green Transition. It endeavors to plant creative seeds to spark regenerative ecological design thinking and practice around the world. It is a grassroots, collaborative, and participatory thinking and doing initiative focused on making our worlds flourish with Net-Positive℠ regenerative design.
In the spirit of the Second Enlightenment, this highly collaborative approach aims to start small, grow dynamically through the multiplier effect connected with the zeitgeist.
This initiative began with a conversation between Christopher Zelov and Tony Guido, Zelov mentioned Spring Garden would be a splendid place for an Eco-District to emerge. This led to The Philadelphia EcoDistrict Oasis, a six month design studio at the University of the Arts, which included contributions from Pliny Fisk, Jay Baldwin, and Tony Brown of the Ecosa Institute for Ecological Design. This then spawned an undertaking to seed Philadelphia's first Eco-District in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Philadelphia. Now given our global reach, Spring Garden is a mythic metaphor in the spirit of Joseph Campbell. In 2020, the initiative evolved into the Eco-Futures Incubator, a further expansion into Whole Systems thinking with a planetary perspective to provoke our preferred futures.
An initiative of The Knossus Project.
