Hey Ashley — Thanks for the comment! I’m just beginning my thesis now. I do love your ideas that you mentioned about the way that industrialization has changed architecture through our consumption of food. I had originally considered exploring ideas related to food (because I enjoy cooking so much, especially vegetarian) but decided to go more towards a whole body approach to how architecture affects our health. I enjoy your blog a lot, keep it up!
Hi there – this looks like an interesting prospectus. I’m looking at food economies and the social impetus that pulls people toward different models of production (mass vs. local vs. organic) and the consequences of re-labeling traditional agrarian modes of production as “organic” (and the cost of certification), where what we consider organic is just the default way of producing in many places, etc. I’ve never considered this from an urban studies/architecture perspective, so it’s great to read about your work! Although, if this is not submitted yet, I’d suggest replacing “good’s” with “food’s”!
This looks great! I am hail from the Marshall area as well and am going to school for Environmental Science and Urban Planning!
