We don’t take matters at face value: every challenge can be traced back to its root cause. Prioritizing efficiency means addressing issues through a comprehensive lens that goes beyond immediate symptoms. Our approach is ecosystem-centric rather than solely people-focused, recognizing that true regeneration requires engaging with the entire system. This means considering materiality, scale, and time, spanning tangible and intangible elements, micro to macro perspectives, and past to future dynamics, to create solutions that are both sustainable and transformative.
Our Philosophy
Solutions, in our view, must emerge from a flexible process that is co-created with stakeholders to materialize their goals and enable their independent evolution, consequently, their ownership. They cannot be imposed top-down, rather rely on a system of partnerships and evidence.
We acknowledge that innovation is a given, not a slogan, where a diverse body of tools and teams are put to use promoting themes of urbanism, activism, politics, business, and design. Multi-disciplinarity becomes inevitable, and so does transversal learning.
Our Approach
Studio Madane operates as a multi-faceted entity, carrying out targeted interventions to create an innovative and regenerative futures on both national and global levels. Rather than isolating the individual, Studio Madane views people as integral parts of their context.
Systems and processes are a response to many problematic and targets; however long-term sociopolitical transformation can be achieved if active citizenship and a strong political will are at the core of the approach. The seven working groups in our community are youth-led because Studio Madane views youth as, despite vulnerable to the status quo, so central to driving creativity and innovation:
the colors of the symbols represent that of the groups
Our Workflow
Studio Madane has been deeply rooted in the Beirut node since 2019, which has significantly influenced its workflows.
We recognize that our workflows evolve based on the flow of information and resources. In contexts where we self-sufficiently design and implement missions, Studio Madane leverages its expertise in ecosystem mapping, strategic positioning, knowledge curation, and prioritizing actions and their steps, all while employing sociocracy for decision-making.
Conversely, when the studio is consulted to address a mission, it follows a more structured loop of actions: sensing, exploring, funneling, materializing, and iterating. This adaptable yet systematic approach ensures our relevance and effectiveness in navigating the volatile landscapes shaped by today’s local and global challenges. Nevertheless, we circle back to the world that we aspire to have: Studio Madane wants to create a world composed of inclusive urban environments where regenerative socioeconomies thrive, blending progressiveness with the history and culture of the land and its people.
