Finding a Name

the purpose of my building was to empower the public to take responsibility for the site.
to do this I looked at the problem and the phenomenon behind it.. social diffusion.

My building is the opposite of diffusion its a place for people to come together and look for support and solve problems.

the opposite of Diffusion is concentration. For obvious reasons this name had negative connotations and so .... COALESCE

Coalesce also discribes slime mould; my bio mimicry link:
