SCHOOL OF VISION
The world’s first research centre dedicated to the science and culture of visionary thinking
ABOUT
WHAT WE DO
We study and teach the language of vision to shape new ways of seeing, creating, and transforming reality.
The School of Vision is Spazio Taverna’s platform for research and education, dedicated to unlocking the transformative power of visionary thinking.
Through culture, science, and industry, we explore how imagination can spark innovation, drive transformation, and shape new ways of inhabiting reality.
Based in Rome, blueprint of contemporary society, we ground our vision in history while projecting it boldly toward the future.

Tomás Saraceno, Argentinian artist and visionary thinker, explores the intersection of art, ecology and science through Aerocene, a long-term project reimagining the future of mobility through solar-powered flight, atmospheric currents, and collective practice, in collaboration with scientists from MIT and NASA.

SCHOOL OF VISION FOR ORGANISATION
We design experiential corporate journeys of up to 10 modules (90 minutes each) to activate visionary capability inside teams and organizations.
Through Visionary Thinking theory, encounters with field experts, and challenge-based learning workshops, participants learn how to awaken their inner world—and translate it into clear actions, decisions, and strategies in the external one.
