Eat, ask, repeat. An investigation into food and the city.

Eat, Ask, Repeat: An Investigation into Food and the City. The city and food are more closely related than you might think. Our bodies act as the mediators in this relationship. This book of questions materializes research conducted within the Master in Architectural Communication (MAca9) program at ETSAM. This publication offers a critical look at the dynamics of production, consumption, and the right to the city. What drives us to overeat? Or to eat too little? Is food an elemental resource for survival, or has it become a different kind of entity today? We invite you to reflect on aspects that go unnoticed in our daily lives within this great kitchen we call the city.
