The people behind Polydome


Polydome has been developed as a joint effort of multiple disciplines and with diverse inputs. As a principle, we combine the expertise and experiences of people with different backgrounds: scientists, engineers, deisgners, and business developers. These are the people that developed and grew Polydome to where it is today.
We are keen on cooperating with stakeholders and partners in a diversity of sectors and we are happy to get in touch with you.

Building the Foundations of a sustainable Society

Polydome has been conceived and developed by Except Integrated Sustainability. Except is a cooperative of over 30 scientists, designers, and social entrepreneurs that take sustainable development to the next level. Together we develop concepts and strategies that make places, companies, industries and day-to-day life more resilient, more sustainable, and more human.

We’re immensely proud of our unique team, realizing that without our diversity, experience and dedication, we could never work on such a variety of pioneering projects. Because of our global reach we have representation in various countries, including the United States, the Netherlands and Mexico.

Symbiosis in Development


Except develops and implements projects based on the Symbiosis in Development (SiD) framework. SiD is a framework for integrated sustainable development from A to Z. This method allows individuals and multidiciplinary teams to develop actionable pathways towards long term sustainable organizations, cities, products, and industry.

Projects


Our projects span a wide range of topics, including buildings, business strategy, policy research, publications, software and sustainability assessment. In addition, we develop our own investment projects that define the cutting edge of sustainable development. These are a couple of example projects to illustrate our work. Wherever we can, we combine knowledge across projects, including Polydome.
