This paper presents student work from a vertical studio that takes as its starting point a feminist storying methodology. The ambition of the studio is, in the spirit of Virginia Woolf, Isabelle Stengers, Vinciane Despret, and Donna Haraway, to make a fuss. Students worked on sites that they selected across the globe, including Mexico City, Awaji Island in Japan, and Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. Their projects gather earth-world stories across species and across time in a speculative nature. The design process involved developing four condi¬tions: ground matters, visual languages found and imagined, narrative containers, and thickened thresholds. Underlying this collective endeavor, is an assertion that architecture’s techniques and tools warrant reconsidering, or, said another way, that we cannot address contemporary and future prob-lems with the tools that were instrumental to their making.
