Stella Matutina is a school of practice in formation on a quiet peninsula on Lake Lucerne built around people who move between and beyond philosophy, art, science, business, and technology.

For two centuries this site was under the care of The Sisters of Baldegg, who founded the region's first school for girls and went on to design a nearby convent with Marcel Breuer.

Stella's next chapter is as an R&D ecosystem that treats technology as a philosophical site: a place where foundational concepts that organise society such as intelligence, agency, and subjectivity come under strain and are discarded or renewed.

Stella is being designed in the belief that articulating new concepts, building prototypes, and designing institutions capable of sustaining them is one practice.

We call this philosophical R&D.
