2017-8 HUNGRY CITY

Resources to support a project exploring the spatial politics and architecture of our food supply. Students will design a small ethical supermarket combined with a public amenity space for Central Manchester. The burgeoning local population is in urgent need of amenities whilst commercial pressures to maximise land value result in the loss of public and community spaces. Projects will use Carolyn Steel's idea "Sitopia" exploring how food can be used as a tool to shape the world more positively.
