Book Synopsis Eating Architecture by : Jamie Horwitz
Download or read book Eating Architecture written by Jamie Horwitz and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-02-17 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly original collection of essays that explore the relationship between food and architecture—the preparation of meals and the production of space. The contributors to this highly original collection of essays explore the relationship between food and architecture, asking what can be learned by examining the (often metaphorical) intersection of the preparation of meals and the production of space. In a culture that includes the Food Channel and the knife-juggling chefs of Benihana, food has become not only an obsession but an alternative art form. The nineteen essays and "Gallery of Recipes" in Eating Architecture seize this moment to investigate how art and architecture engage issues of identity, ideology, conviviality, memory, and loss that cookery evokes. This is a book for all those who opt for the "combination platter" of cultural inquiry as well as for the readers of M. F. K. Fisher and Ruth Reichl. The essays are organized into four sections that lead the reader from the landscape to the kitchen, the table, and finally the mouth. The essays in "Place Settings" examine the relationships between food and location that arise in culinary colonialism and the global economy of tourism. "Philosophy in the Kitchen" traces the routines that create a site for aesthetic experimentation, including an examination of gingerbread houses as art, food, and architectural space. The essays in "Table Rules" consider the spatial and performative aspects of eating and the ways in which shared meals are among the most perishable and preserved cultural artifacts. Finally, "Embodied Taste" considers the sensual apprehension of food and what it means to consume a work of art. The "Gallery of Recipes" contains images by contemporary architects on the subject of eating architecture.
Download or read book Living And Eating written by John Pawson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living and Eating is above all a cookery book, packed with 'luscious recipes' (Marie Claire), with food that has been selected to be simple and delicious. The intention is to narrow the gap between how we eat on a daily basis and how we entertain, recognizing that the most relaxed form of entertaining is simply about inviting people to join you at your table. The collection of recipes is designed to cater for all seasons and occasions, and gives attention to making the best ever version of everyone's favourites: there are recipes for roast chicken, the definitive tomato salad, tagliatelle a la carbonara, apple tart and summer pudding. The book goes beyond the food itself to look at the whole context in which we enjoy it - the plates and glasses we eat and drink from, the equipment we use to prepare the food and the kitchen in which we cook. Exquisitely designed and produced, and illustrated with stunning food photography and photographs of John Pawson's London house, Living and Eating is an unparalleled, much praised guide to a simple yet utterly seductive way of cooking, eating and living.
Book Synopsis The Food Axis by : Elizabeth C. Cromley
Download or read book The Food Axis written by Elizabeth C. Cromley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the earliest, and relatively simple, houses, the author traces changes in food spaces through the years, noting a steady escalation in the number of food-related rooms. Along the way, she considers multiple circumstances that shed light on this evolution, including the role of gender in determining food-space design, the relation of food spaces to nature, and the telling ways in which people and food circulate through kitchens and dining rooms. Because Cromley is interested not only in how designed spaces look but how they are used, she cites a wealth of primary sources: autobiographies, travel journals, household diaries, letters, and inventories, in her exploration of the habits surrounding all aspects of food in the home. --Book Jacket.
Book Synopsis Food and Architecture by : Samantha L. Martin-McAuliffe
Download or read book Food and Architecture written by Samantha L. Martin-McAuliffe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and Architecture is the first book to explore the relationship between these two fields of study and practice. Bringing together leading voices from both food studies and architecture, it provides a ground-breaking, cross-disciplinary analysis of two disciplines which both rely on a combination of creativity, intuition, taste, and science but have rarely been engaged in direct dialogue. Each of the four sections – Regionalism, Sustainability, Craft, and Authenticity – focuses on a core area of overlap between food and architecture. Structured around a series of 'conversations' between chefs, culinary historians and architects, each theme is explored through a variety of case studies, ranging from pig slaughtering and farmhouses in Greece to authenticity and heritage in American cuisine. Drawing on a range of approaches from both disciplines, methodologies include practice-based research, literary analysis, memoir, and narrative. The end of each section features a commentary by Samantha Martin-McAuliffe which emphasizes key themes and connections. This compelling book is invaluable reading for students and scholars in food studies and architecture as well as practicing chefs and architects.
Book Synopsis The Princeton Eating Clubs by : Clifford W. Zink
Download or read book The Princeton Eating Clubs written by Clifford W. Zink and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majestic clubhouses lining the west end of Prospect Avenue represent student social life at Princeton as much as ¿gargoyles and spires,¿ in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, represent academic life on campus. Dating from 1895 to 1928, the sixteen clubhouses in Classical and Gothic styles embody the aspirations, creativity, and craftsmanship of the era when Princeton became a university ¿in the nation¿s service,¿ and America became a world power. The Princeton Eating Clubs are unique, and the story of their origins and development is captivating. Groups of genial undergraduates started each club as a private entity to share good food and companionship. The camaraderie they enjoyed in their clubhouses led graduates to broaden their friendships and foster the famous ¿Princeton spirit¿ so evident on game days and at reunions. The eating clubs thus emerged as collaborations between undergraduates and alumni. The students enjoy the clubhouses daily, and returning alumni meet students and strengthen their connections to each other and to Princeton. Five clubhouses are now University facilities, but eleven eating clubs continue their century-old tradition of independent service to students and alumni.
Book Synopsis Food and Architecture by : Subhadip Majumder
Download or read book Food and Architecture written by Subhadip Majumder and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and architecture, the two pillars of human civilization, have intertwined to such extents to sustain the civilization itself, that the connection between the two has visually ceased to exist. The apparent diverse fields of human life have worked upon similar principles through ages from the beginning of mankind and they complemented our existence. Food is fundamental to cross-cultural studies of behavior, thought, and imagery. We eat for many reasons than just to satisfy our appetite. The act of eating is now a way of socializing with others. Hence all major institutes of food service are trying hard to amaze their users with a built environment that complements the served delicacy. Although most of the users might not understand the thought consciously but subconscious mind keeps alarming when things don’t fall in place. The book surfs through all the aspects of such two diverse fields and tries to show a parallel through a very socialistic and holistic perspective. It’s interesting to understand the intangible logics behind the very tangible aspects of human life.
Book Synopsis Eating Her Curries and Kway by : Nicole Tarulevicz
Download or read book Eating Her Curries and Kway written by Nicole Tarulevicz and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While eating is a universal experience, for Singaporeans it carries strong national connotations. The popular Singaporean-English phrase "Die die must try" is not so much hyperbole as it is a reflection of the lengths that Singaporeans will go to find great dishes. In Eating Her Curries and Kway: A Cultural History of Food in Singapore, Nicole Tarulevicz argues that in a society that has undergone substantial change in a relatively short amount of time, food serves Singaporeans as a poignant connection to the past. Covering the period from British settlement in 1819 to the present and focusing on the post–1965 postcolonial era, Tarulevicz tells the story of Singapore through the production and consumption of food. Analyzing a variety of sources that range from cookbooks to architectural and city plans, Tarulevicz offers a thematic history of this unusual country, which was colonized by the British and operated as a port within Malaya, but which is without a substantial pre-colonial history. Connecting food culture to the larger history of Singapore, she discusses various topics including domesticity and home economics, housing and architecture, advertising, and the regulation of food-related manners and public behavior such as hawking, littering, and chewing gum. Moving away from the predominantly political and economic focus of other histories of Singapore, Tarulevicz provides an important alternative reading of Singaporean society.

Download or read book Eating Religiously written by Nir Avieli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first of its kind, critically analyzes the conjunctions of 21st century food, faith and society. It aims to provide a fresh approach that theorizes the culinary sphere in its association with morality, identity, justice and the sublime. In a changing climate of food fads, diet plans, gastropolitics and fusion tastes, this edited volume interrogates, analyzes and critiques various situations in which food, the state, civil society, gender, race, and faith intersect and even transmute. Informed by emergent post-secularist views of religion(s) and novel approaches to twenty-first century forms of mobility and fixity, the book's primary aim is to ponder through ethnography the manifold meanings of food, eating and commensality as dynamic social and religious practices. The main goal of Eating Religiously: Food and Faith in the 21st Century is to present cutting-edge anthropological research that examines the causes, effects, meanings and repercussions of theoretical and real-world relationships between culinary practices and religion, identity politics and national pride. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Food, Culture, and Society.
