Concatenation
Philosophy Landscapes are not static; they are created, destroyed and/or re-created through chain reactions.
COMMUNITY
ECONOMY
Education
To catalyze new relationships between ecology, economy and community is to intervene in a landscape’s evolution. By re-imagining these relationships through the actions of revelation and adaptation, an altered process results which leads to an enhanced interconnected landscape.
