Fermentation isn’t a process that can be rushed, and isn’t created in isolation. Fermentation demands a different way of working- it challenges the quick outcome-driven work we are often accustomed to. It is a process that has care embedded in it- you continually feed your starter and in return it feeds you.

Using fermentation as both a conceptual methodology to physically and conceptually occupy space, facilitates spaces for conversations around what creating sustainably means. Within different architectural institutions, these conversations are necessary when thinking about the future production of architecture.

The Cultures of Care methodology can be broken down following the 4 key stages: Starter; Knead; Rest and Rise. Using this methodology to structure workshops and critically approach texts, 'kneads' through the connections between race, climate change, and unsustainable modes of production- designating moments of collective 'rest' and resisting to take place.
