Marketing - Architecture
English term or phrase: cross-breeder
Even today, in an article on start-ups, Wonderland Magazine provides evidence that, “architects are cross-breeders. They take situation-dependent forays from an architectural basis.” Instead of losing work temporarily or long term, voluntarily or not, the best thing is to found an architectural group of architect friends in a similar situation and simply start up on one’s own—with research, design, or with any kind of architectural activism whatsoever. Anything goes.

befruchten sich gegenseitig


Explanation:
Zwar kein Substantiv, aber ich es im Zusammenhang mit dem letzten Satz richtig verstehe, ist doch gemeint, dass die Architekten sich zusammentun und selbst Arbeit generieren... oder?

eigentlich: Hybridzüchter; hier: Inzüchtler


Explanation:
Aus dem Kontext geht in etwa hervor, Architekten würden sich selbst Beschäftigungsgebiete schaffen. Sie betreiben sinnbildlich "Inzucht". ( :-D )
