"The ""viaduct"" ostensibly suggests concepts of connectivity and networks. What occurs, paradoxically, is habitat fragmentation and ecological boundary-drawing. By positing the overhead viaduct as more than a mere urban giant of human connectivity - it offers itself as a uniquely complex and misunderstood site for inquiry. By viewing the viaduct as a chassis for ecological prosthesis, a change in mindset arises; from 'mitigating damage' to 'active reclamation.' What ensued was the discovery of an entirely hidden world, locked away from both realms of Human and Non-Human.

By seeing 'fermentation' as a framework, the concept responds to Architecture's entanglement with inclusion and exclusion cultures. To view the 'Process' over the Product is essential in this novel approach to urban rewilding. Fermentation becomes the alternative lens to respond to post-capitalist priorities of predictability and violent control. Instead, the focus is shifted to the agency of matter and an ecology of care. This proposal views the overhead viaduct as a canvas for ecological prosthesis. However, more than this, it brings to attention the perpetuation of our Human sense of control over the Non-Human. It aims to reframe conventional conceptions of Architecture, rather purporting it as being a temporal, living, evolving process that listens and brews with its structures, materials, human and non-human communities."
