Our Story
Founded in 1963 by visionary architect Peter Wexley, the Hermes Institute was established on the belief that human thought can reshape physical matter.
In its early years, the Institute became a sanctuary for architects, scientists, artists, and thinkers, drawing from Wexley’s idea that "through the precision of thought, we can reshape the very fabric of reality." This philosophy attracted a diverse community united by the desire to push the limits of human potential.
Today, the Hermes Institute is a multidisciplinary hub of innovation, blending art, science, philosophy, and technology. With its dynamic architecture, the campus reflects Wexley’s vision of an environment shaped by collective imagination.
As a student here, you’ll join a legacy of pioneers dedicated to transforming the world through the power of thought. Welcome to a place where your ideas can take shape.
