thinking in connections.
Enter through a field of knowledge. Discover its connections and the people who put them into a different practice.
Art
Observing, interpreting, and giving an experience a form. Art develops languages for expressing what a literal explanation may leave out.
2 connected profilesDesign
Giving objects, systems, and experiences a form within an intention and constraints. Design involves choosing which problem deserves attention and for whom.
1 connected profileEngineering
Turning knowledge into systems that work under specific conditions. Engineering deals with materials, mechanisms, constraints, and tests.
3 connected profilesPhysics
Studying matter, energy, and interactions through models and observations. Physics lets us formulate explanations that can be checked against the world.
3 connected profilesAnatomy
Studying the structure and relationships between parts of living organisms. Anatomy combines observation, description, and representation.
2 connected profilesNeuroscience
Investigating the nervous system, its organization, and its function. Neuroscience brings together questions and methods from different areas of knowledge.
1 connected profilePhilosophy
Examining concepts, arguments, and assumptions about knowledge, reality, and life. Philosophy also asks which reasons justify a decision.
2 connected profilesPolitics and government
Organizing collective decisions, institutions, and relationships of power. Governing involves acting among responsibilities, limited resources, and different interests.

Organizing resources, people, and decisions to create and sustain a value proposition. Outcomes depend on relationships between product, operations, and context.
5 connected profilesCinema
Building experiences through image, sound, performance, and editing. Cinema brings different specialties together in a collective work.
3 connected profilesBodybuilding
A practice and competition centered on developing and presenting the physique. This library examines it as a field of learning, identity, and public performance.
1 connected profileMathematics
Studying structures, quantities, and relationships through definitions, reasoning, and proof. Mathematics allows a problem to be stated precisely and the consequences of its assumptions to be examined.
1 connected profileAstronomy
Studying bodies and phenomena in the universe through observations and models. Astronomy connects scales of time, distance, and motion beyond everyday experience.
1 connected profileTheology
Investigating questions about the divine, faith, and religious traditions through texts, arguments, and interpretation. Its methods and commitments vary across periods and communities.
1 connected profileFashion
Giving form to garments, accessories, and ways of presenting oneself through materials, proportions, construction, and cultural context. Fashion brings together expression, use, and production systems.
