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.

PLOT Special Issue 21, "Soils, Ecologies, Territories, Communities," proposes four themes that transcend the field of architecture, approaching conceptions of landscape and the inexhaustible debate between culture and nature from various perspectives. It brings together a selection of projects located in Latin America and research addressing the ecological and climate crises, as well as economic and social inequalities. These initiatives, notable for their connection to the soil, communities, and their territories, highlight the importance of construction processes and their relationship with available materials. They challenge traditional models and demand greater action and reflection from a collective dimension.
