Summary:
The Edible City considers how one city eats. It includes dishes on peaches and poverty, on processing plants and public gardens, on rats and bees and bad restaurant service, on schnitzel and school lunches. There are incisive studies of food-safety policy, of feeding the poor, and of waste, and a happy tale about a hardy fig tree. Together they form a picture of how Toronto - and, by extension, every city - sustains itself, from growing basil on balconies to four-star restaurants.

Summary:
"Architecture is experienced as one roams about in it and walks through it [...] So true is this that architectural works can be divided into dead and living ones depending on whether the law of 'roaming through' has not been observed or whether on the contrary it has been brilliantly obeyed." ( Le Corbusier, 1942 )

Like few others, Louis Kahn cultivated the craft of drawing as a means to architecture.

Summary:
Steven Holl has set up a documentation centre for the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun (1859 -1952) on Hamaroy, in northern Norway. This unconventional building reflects the author's no less unusual personality. The centre in the barren landscape of Hamaroy, where Hamsun lived and worked, the silence and solitude, challenge visitors to involve themselves with him and his work. The book records the connection between Hamsun, the architecture and the landscape. Photographer Iwan Baan relates the landscape and the building to each other, and historical documents illustrate Hamsun's contradictory life and influential work, et al. the novel Hunger (1890), with which Hamsun achieved his fame.
