“Slow” architecture and its links with Slow Food

Abstract

There have always been links between food and architecture, but the connections between Slow Food and Slow Architecture that are explored here could highlight a number of lessons learned and shared between these two multidisciplinary movements. As global trends within the context of an increased awareness of sustainability, they could make a contribution towards a renewed focus on local regions, craft and sensory experience.

Daar was nog altyd skakels tussen kos en argitektuur, maar die skakels tussen Slow Food en Slow Architecture wat hier ondersoek word, kan ’n reeks lesse uitlig wat geleer word deur, en gedeel word tussen, hierdie twee multi-dissiplinêre bewegings. As wêreldwye tendense binne die konteks van ’n toenemende bewustheid van volhoubaarheid, kan hierdie bewegings ’n bydrae lewer tot ’n hernude fokus op plaaslike streke, vakmanskap en sintuiglike ondervinding.
