What Will I Farm.....

"Farming harnesses the efficiency of collectivity and community." 
- White & Przybylski

I believe that our most valuable resource as human beings, is the ability to collaborate. The "mind crops" are full of diversity and rich with knowledge. Ideas can be strongest when different disciplines are able to come together and cross pollinate ideas. For example Biomimicry, what can the Architect learn from the Biologist? or the Chemist, and so on.
It is a dream of mine to one day provide the facilities (the field), the initiation (planting the seed), and the financial support (the fertilizer) for the genius of separate fields to collaborate and inspire one another and produce a beautiful crop of thoroughly thought out ideas. No one person can ever be omniscient and a design can only become stronger by introducing new schools of thought to it. A form of integrated design that ensures diversity of perspective. In short, I want to harvest brains.
