assigment introduction
Assignment 1 : Eating out Experience
Eat-Scape in San Salvador
Reading the environment through your own experience of eating out in San Salvador.
Written by Chotima Ag-ukrikul
Duration for this assignment 30 Aug – 5 Sep 2011
I hope that you enjoyed the reading of the article from Karen A. France on Food+ Architecture. The aim of this assignment is to explore/refresh your own experience of San Salvador through engaging your daily life in the city. You are expecting to choose one of your eating out experience in the city as the subject of this assignment. Eating out is the practice of eating that take place outside of private domain. In this assignment you are invited to reflect not only on the social & the cultural aspects of this activity, but more specifically about your understanding of the relation between people (yourself) and the built environment surrounding you.
With this assignment you are challenged to develop your own language and methods of how to document and communicate your finding as a designer / architect that will make sense in your own design practice. Using text can be one way of working, but why not using the other ways of working such as using diagrams, maps, photographs, animations or even models as tools for observation and reflections.
SUGGESTION
You can use the structure below here “Eat-scape in Different scale” as the base of your exploration of this assignment. From food > dishes > table setting> interaction between people > spatial setting > urban setting > neighborhood setting. You can use this as structure to frame which scale that you are interested to investigate and what aspects of the subject that you are going to focus on. You can do this with photos or and other media you prefer.
