A standing body of people who make cities worth living in.
Friends read and take part. Fellows carry the work — and keep the Commons open to everyone else.
For anyone who wants to follow the work. Everyone who joined us on a complimentary ticket at the Glass Dome starts here.
- · The open Commons — essays, field notes, photography
- · Field Notes correspondence
- · Invitations to open salons and public sessions
For practitioners who want to be in the room and on the record. Everyone who held a paid ticket on 17 June is a founding Fellow.
- · Everything a Friend receives
- · The full Commons, including films and session recordings
- · Fellows-only convenings and closed-door salons
- · Named in the Fellowship directory, with post-nominal use
- · Priority access and member rates for the next festival
Join as a Fellow.
An annual membership that keeps the Commons open and puts you in the room. Your place is active the moment payment clears, and you keep it until the year runs out even if you stop the renewal.
You were there. Your place is already held.
Everyone at the Glass Dome is part of the founding cohort. Paid tickets become founding Fellows; complimentary tickets become Friends. Enter the email you registered with and we’ll send your claim link.
The Commons stays open
Fellowship subscriptions pay for editing, filming and photography, so most of the library can stay free to read.
Convenings that aren't for sale
Closed-door salons run on member support rather than sponsorship, which is what keeps the conversation honest.
A body, not an audience
Fellows are named, reachable and drawn on — for the Conscious Cities Index (an XDG Labs initiative), for programme design, for peer review.
The Fellowship is for individuals. The Circle is for those who carry a city, an institution, or a portfolio.
Friend · free — Fellow · SGD 188 a year
An individual membership. Friends follow the work and keep the Commons in view. Fellows fund it, and go deeper — films, session recordings and the fuller record as it lands.
You are hereOne hundred and fifty seats · dues on request
A curated year of convenings, salons and closed-door work across ASEAN and the Asia Pacific. Every calling is by application, beginning with a conversation. Citizen and Placemaker are filling fast, Custodian and Steward are down to their final seats, and Patrons are closed.
