51N4E is a self-steering collective that wants to empower people to be both autonomous and connected. It does so by organizing the supportive processes needed for a collaborative design culture. This collaboration platform combines the internal studios with a growing network of external partners. As such, it mirrors today’s complex reality and produces an ecosystem of knowledge. 51N4E wants to respond in an agile way to the volatile nature of transformation processes. That is why we organize the diverse offer of our capacities and expertise in studios, clear in their scope and complimentary in their offer. Each develops its own programme and research lines, but they work together to address the complexity of transformation projects. Currently, 51N4E hosts the studios Cast and Acte, with the third studio Root in a test phase.
