SOUR is an international award-winning architecture and design studio with the mission of addressing social and urban problems through sustainable, adaptive, and inclusive design processes. While the word, SOUR, is a play on the words social and urban, the meaning describes the studio’s attitude. Like the process of sourdough making, the studio believes in taking the time: to research, synthesize, and ideate in order to generate data-inspired and purposeful design solutions. The world has spent enough time sugar-coating, it’s time to confront, get real, and be SOUR.
