SWARM operates as an international transdisciplinary platform for integrated and holistic design solutions. It allows to collect the very best individuals from each discipline and share. It operates as a global network, combining three major ideas – sharing, crowdfunding, and collective mind. Merging top-down and bottom-up models, working in different time zones and being socially, intellectually, geographically, and economically diverse, SWARM plat- form, thanks to its flexibility and resources, is the most efficient way to deliver the best solutions.
Every project operates simultaneously within local and global teams, focusing on the substantial problem, able to gain the real data within the target society and local context, instead of basing on speculations. Therefore, moderating our own projects and working locally gives us an opportunity to communicate with the local society, share with them and learn from them, while the connections within the platform help us to address a global vision.
Being 100% transparent and open-source about the ideas and the whole design process is the key factor for the progress, critical for the delivery of a democratic and healthy solution. Diverse financial system, based on crowdfunding, small loans or grants, provides financial stability.
