  • Indy Johar is an architect, visionary thinker and Mission Steward of Dark Matter Labs.

    “Dm is working on what is needed to manifest transformations to our food, housing, land, material and nature systems towards a future of mutual thriving.

    In doing this, we analyse the shifts it requires in the underlying ‘dark matter’ - monetary, economic, governance, regulatory and policy systems - to make this possible, and we work with partners to demonstrate these alternatives in neighbourhoods, cities and bioregions. We share these insights openly for mutual learning.”

    Indy has taught and lectured at various institutions from the University of Bath, TU-Berlin; Architectural Association, University College London, Princeton, Harvard, MIT and New School.
