Institutional Architecture Lab
The Institutional Architecture Lab was formed in 2023 by Sir Geoff Mulgan, Jessica Seddon and Juha Leppänen in an effort to help the institutional design community coalesce, learn together, and grow. Each of us has been involved in various stages of creating new organizations and other institutions. Like many other people, we have witnessed first-hand the absence of a formal community along the way — or a place where we can learn from past experience. We are aware that there is a lot of great work happening around the world, but nowhere to recognize it. Those seeking new design ideas and those working to translate insights from social science, experience, and logic into “good bets” for new institutions have no one obvious to call. TIAL aims to fill this gap by helping those interested in the practice and theory of institutional design to find each other, compare notes and learn together, and grow into a professional community that can meet the need for new institutions across the issue areas and geographies where they are needed.
