A46 ARCH 625FThe Architecture of Food: Foundations of a Culture in St. Louis1.5 Units
Description:For centuries, food has shaped the land around cities, routes through cities, and settlements of cities. Food culture has driven social, political, economic, and identity dimensions of cities and communities, for better or worse. St. Louis has a thriving food culture, but also a clear segregation of space related to food deserts, food corridors, food festivals, agricultural space, and access to information about health and nutrition. This course provides an outlet for students to explore the architecture of food of St. Louis and surrounds, the good and bad, as a means to connect to the people, places, and businesses that make up the city's gastronomic culture. In 4 parts, the course investigates 1. the urban fabric of the city through a series of mapping exercises, 2. the neighborhood fabrics based around restaurants and dining/eating spaces through exercises of tasting, reviewing, and diagramming, 3. the spaces of food growth and distribution through video and diagram documentation, 4. the people related food growth, distribution, cuisine, nutrition, and community building through interviews and narrative documentation with partners. This semester students will eat, create, listen, document, and engage the food community of St. Louis. Our focus will train on how community is built literally (as in neighborhoods and spaces) and figuratively (as in relationships and culture) in St. Louis though avenues of food resources, production, restaurant groups, and people. The course culminates in an exhibit of maps, diagrams, photos, videos, and narratives that showcases the food culture of the city. Some meetings will be off campus and require a small expense to cover food or beverage related to course tastings. This course is open to graduate students only.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
