Why Fallow?

Designing, creating, and cultivating aren’t enough. Rest, reflection and maintenance are needed as well.

Fallow provides the space to rethink the often exclusive and routine practices that perpetuate inequalities in and through the built environment. Fallow encourages an increased focus on relationship building as a measure of progress rather than exclusively production, profit, or material asset creation.

    Fallow works to understand, to explore, and to translate in ways that might make these decision-making structures more actionable.
