Food and Architecture - At The Table (Hardcover)

"Food and Architecture "is the first book to explore, interrogate and illuminate the reciprocity between these two distinct fields of study and practice. Both disciplines rely on a combination of intuition, inventiveness, even wonder, but until recently have seldom come into dialogue with one another. Bringing together leading voices to provide an authoritative, cross-disciplinary exploration of the reciprocity between eating and building, this volume demonstrates how the fields of food studies and architecture can learn from each other. Each section focuses on a core area where food and architecture overlap - Regionalism, Sustainability, Craft and Authenticity - using these to introduce a variety of case studies exploring these themes. Covering topics ranging from pig slaughtering and farmhouses in Greece, to the possibility of an authentic American Cuisine, contributors employ a range of vantage points and methodologies, such as practice-based research, literary analysis, memoir, and voice narrative. Each section is concluded with a commentary, drawing out key themes and connections between chapters.This lively and compelling book will be invaluable reading for food studies and architecture students and will appeal to practicing architects and chefs.
