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...
Coming from the South
Most books about architecture and urban environments give the impression that the world is a flat place inhabited by very rich countries and very poor countries. More complex physical and geographical realities exits, however, as well as places with middling economies. In this book, architect Eduard Bru discusses some of these places, many of which are found in southern Europe, and through them he reflects on the present and the immediate future of the built environment, using parameters different from those of the dominant Dutch/North American majority. He defends, for poorer countries, a construction of space by means of non-ephemeral, highly neutral, even atemporal objects whose meanings change with time.
Walking the city. Barcelona as an urban experience
