This lecture explores the relationship between architecture and food production, focusing on the architectural articulation of food production and storage through concrete examples of typologies and built projects. Starting with the concept of 'Domesticated Foodscapes', the instructor delves into historical references such as Ledoux's 'L'Abri du Pauvre' and Bruegel the Elder's 'The Tower of Babel'. The lecture discusses the impact of Adam's act of madness and the subsequent passing down to his offspring, as well as the architectural implications before and after significant events like the arrival of the tractor and the obsolescence of libraries.
