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”!

I love love love your thesis.
As an Architecture Restorationist, I try to get houses back to their original and more organic state. I totally follow and agree with your words.

Wow your thesis sounds really good! I will be starting mine this year and I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one trying to demonstrate connections between food and architecture. After reading How food shapes our lives I decided I’d be working more on a urban design point of view, so I’ll see what I come up with
I think often people don’t realize how food (and water) are one of the most important things in our lives and obviously we would die without it, but these resources are sooo abundant people just forget about it. I think I’ll be working on how to re-link people with food, trough urban design. How to put it back in our minds, how to teach kids food doesn’t come from the grocery store, but from the land, how to include it into one’s everyday life. Yeah that’s it hahaha. Anyways, I’m just so happy I read this little abstract from your thesis
