We are a forward thinking do tank using cross-disciplinary methods to address cultural, national, and global issues as they are anticipated or present themselves. Through research we use design to solve issues in a broader social, economic, and political context. We achieve this by extending knowledge outside our expertise to collaborate with a variety of other professionals, universities, and organizations focused on common goals. By drawing from the strengths of different areas of research, we foster global networking in which to base our projects from small scale products to large scale planning.
