Inhaltsangabe

The connections between food and architecture, both literal and metaphorical, are limitless: not only are buildings houses for restaurants and kitchens, but certain edibles, like gingerbread houses, are magical mock-ups of more real counterparts. In Food and Architecture, this obvious, yet seldom acknowledged connection, is formally examined. Including provocative essays by architects, historians, and social scientists, as well as interviews with designers and entrepreneurs, this fascinating book will include a discussion of new restaurants in London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Food is in architecture. We buy, cook and consume it in many different public places designed to accommodate, even enhance, these activities of daily life. Much of the urban streetscape is composed of just such places: the market, the grocery, the pub, the café and the restaurant, as well as the supermarket, fast-food outlet or takeaway. Likewise, architecture is in food. Chefs design dishes that resemble works of art but which must also stand up and be eaten. And architecture is like food. Each is fashioned from raw materials into a cultural product. We depend on both to meet ordinary needs and to celebrate special events. Architect and cook alike manipulate colour, texture and shape to tantalise our senses.

Despite a burgeoning interest in many fields within the topic of food, Food and Architecture is the first publication to fully explore the relationship between food and architecture. Featuring new restaurants in Tokyo, Sydney, London and New York, it showcases the architectural pleasures of dining out, while interviews with restaurateur Alan Yau and designer James Soane reveal the creative thinking that makes a restaurant a theatrical experience.
