Technology transfer

‘Technology transfer’ is a fancy term for what you like to do anyway - learn about what other people do so you can do what you do better.

With the increasing need for economy of time, material, and labor, examples in architecure abound, and the work of people such as Charles and Ray Eames and Buckmister Fuller is gaining increased relevance in an era of interchange and collaboration.

There’s even a National Technology Transfer Center encouraging advancement in areas ranging from firefighting to immunosuppressant drug production.
