welcome to originate institute

Stay original in the age of AI.
Start where Gaudí did- from the origins

You've just experienced the mind of one of history's most original creators. His secret wasn't constant invention- it was returning to what's essential: nature, culture, and purpose.

That same method is now available to you.
Start Originating
Originate Institute was born from 8+ years of research with the Gaudí Foundation to translate Gaudí's philosophy into a modern design method- one that blends human creativity, natural intelligence, and AI.

We run workshops, seminars, and immersive design sprints in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, and Barcelona for professionals, educators, and students who want to learn how to create with depth and intention.
