Edible Places 2: Urban Innovations for a Food Cycle

3-8 September 2010

Have you ever tried mapping the urban food web?  Come to the Architecture Sans Frontières UK summer school to explore ways of creating sustainable urban food cycles through innovative and adaptable designs.

 

This five day workshop, for students and interested professionals, explores one of the most fundamental issues for the survival of human-kind, FOOD: where we produce it, how we access it and how we dispose of it. This workshop will explore ways of upgrading the urban environment through innovative and adaptable designs to respond to this need. Through lectures, prototype designs and construction we will study the urban environment and understand how it can be more suitably adapted for sustainable living and eating.

 

Cost: £65 per day (total cost of £325 includes fees, food and camping)

CPD Option: £200 for 12 hours of lectures by leading specialists in the field (Saturday and Sunday)

For more information, and to apply, please email Caroline Dewast, c.dewast@asf-uk.org. The application deadline is the 31st July 2010.
