The Alchemist: The Power to Connect Domains
“Alchemists bring together separate domains – different ideas, disciplines, or systems of thought – and connect them in a unique way to develop breakthrough ideas. The Alchemists’ insights come from borrowing or even stealing ideas. They are motivated to invent by a broad range of interests, and they lead lives that connect work and play. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright created the most original buildings in the history of American architecture by using the techniques of the Alchemist. His genius was in marrying the design of the building with the nature of its site. With their seamless integration, he created a breakthrough.” (Wellman 11)
