Eating, Building, Dwelling
The intricate relationship between food, city and architecture, spanning from ancient civilizations to the present, serves as a focal point for interdisciplinary discourse. This book delves into a diverse set of cases throughout history in which processes related to food significantly influenced architectural or urban designs. This book delineates three spatial levels — city, home and intermediate spaces — illuminating their dynamic interplay within the construct of a continually evolving “food space." Featuring 12 contributions from Mediterranean Europe, this publication explores historical legacies and contemporary challenges. Divided into urban-territorial and architectural scales, it offers nuanced insights into urban dynamics, domestic life and gastronomic tourism. Supported by a prestigious introductory study, this research advances a comprehensive understanding of food's role in shaping urban environments. Through the chapters of this book, those interested in cultural studies of food, urban history and architecture will be able to reflect on our relationship with food and its processes, and how it affects the way we live and design our cities and their architectures.
art de narrar les imatges, L’. Escrits en homenatge a Joaquim Garriga i Riera
L’essència de la història de l’art es troba en la seva capacitat per transformar les idees, els sentiments i la informació que transmeten els objectes artístics en relats rics i evocadors. Joaquim Garriga va practicar aquesta disciplina com un art, el de narrar les imatges i l’arquitectura amb eloqüència. En record seu aquest llibre aplega un seguit de contribucions que tracen un arc temporal que va des de l’edat mitjana fins al món contemporani i que posen de manifest la varietat i la fecunditat de temàtiques, de registres crítics i d’enfocaments metodològics de la ciència que ell va dur a terme amb tanta saviesa. Llegint els articles descobrirem com els historiadors de l’art es mouen en el temps, reconstrueixen la genealogia d’un tema, assenyalen els valors estètics i històrics d’un objecte, n’identifiquen i en caracteritzen els autors, i analitzen les funcions de les obres artístiques i les relacions que la societat hi ha mantingut i hi manté. En fi, s’esforcen per apropar al públic interessat uns tresors patrimonials que ens interroguen i ens meravellen.
The Architecture of Waste
Global material crises are imminent. In the very near future, recycling will no longer be a choice made by those concerned about the environment, but a necessity for all. This means a paradigm shift in domestic behavior, manufacturing, construction, and design is inevitable. The Architecture of Waste provides a hopeful outlook through examining current recycling practices, rethinking initial manufacturing techniques, and proposing design solutions for second lives of material-objects. The book touches on a variety of inescapable issues beyond our global waste crisis including cultural psyches, politics, economics, manufacturing, marketing, and material science. A series of crucial perspectiv...
Food and Urbanism
Cities are home to over fifty percent of the world's population, a figure which is expected to increase enormously by 2050. Despite the growing demand on urban resources and infrastructure, food is still often overlooked as a key factor in planning and designing cities. Without incorporating food into the design process – how it is grown, transported, and bought, cooked, eaten and disposed of – it is impossible to create truly resilient and convivial urbanism. Moving from the table and home garden to the town, city, and suburbs, Food and Urbanism explores the connections between food and place in past and present design practices. The book also looks to future methods for extending the '...
