Anavi / Research & Design

Where insight
takes shape.

We investigate questions across disciplines and turn useful findings into research, tools, products and other forms of creative work.

Selected work / Product

Folium X

A library to think with.

Folium X is being built to help you explore the books you own, follow questions across them, and create something from what you discover—with the sources in view.

Different questions.
Different forms.

Some questions call for a product. Others need close reading, a model or an experiment. The work determines the form.

Research & learning

Ancient Hebrew World

Explore a word within the world that gave it meaning, keeping original sources and the steps of interpretation available to examine.

Early prototype

Explore the wider body of work

Follow the question.
Test the connection.

We look across disciplines without assuming they are interchangeable. A promising resemblance is a place to begin an investigation.

  1. 01

    Look closely.

    Start with a question, the available evidence, and what does not yet fit.

  2. 02

    Test what holds.

    Compare explanations. Look for limits, differences and counterexamples.

  3. 03

    Make and revise.

    Give useful findings a form, then change it when the evidence asks for something better.
