DomusLAB is a workshop in progress that sets out to explore the transformations of contemporary space by exploring the specific theme of food.
Food is made up of animal and vegetal organisms and their by-products, which have been selected by humans in the course of millennia according to their availability and capacity to meet the needs of biological sustenance. Where these primary demands are overcome, foods assume further qualities of a cultural and symbolic kind.
DomusLAB will be analysing how the food system, from production to consumption, affects the configuration and the appearance of architecture and landscape, and how it damages, transforms and interact with these elements.
