Through a critical state of the art, this thesis explores new methods of knowledge engineering for the development of a collective intelligence focused stimulation, expression and knowledge sharing in human environments. Along with theoretical research on the epistemology of symbolic languages and overruns by the use of languages allegorical questions about a method of conceptualization from an ethical-ontological mapping are discussed with reference to concepts from philosophical works, anthropological and information and communication sciences. The objective is to lay the foundation for interdisciplinary research on the design of a generic model of information design inspired by the analogy of the garden to grow knowledge.
