HYBRID HOUSE. Hilde Koenders, commissioned by the Prince Bernhard Cultural Foundation This century will see a great mutation in our way of thinking, the distribution of wealth and the different ways to do research. In theory, the dominant bipolar functioning of society will disappear in favour of a holistic vision where several streams of thought will mingle and strive to become one. The 21st century will embrace the growing need to bridge the two brain halves; to blend the rational with the intuitive, to discern the mathematical with the instinctive and to fuse the technological with the anthropological. Early signs of these mutations are already visible in society today and are a strong indication that this is the direction for the future development of research; research for a better life in a better and more sustainable world.
Already today we encounter more and more people taking on a “slash” position; the entrepreneur/adventurer/artist/philanthropist, and so on. This is a cause I wish to defend.
