dc.description.abstract | This thesis focuses on food culture in Edmonton, Alberta, and explores how architectural intervention may be informed by the farm-to-table method in order to create a more local cuisine. Edmonton is a city with diverse heritage, not only inhabited by Aboriginals, but a number of British settlers and Eastern Europeans, as well as Chinese. While all of these cultures had implemented their own food traditions within the area, they all had one commonality: the use of local food and local taste. With this thesis, the intent is to research and analyze the current issues of food in the city, and develop a centre in one of the most multicultural regions of Edmonton to serve as a catalyst for a more local food culture once again. | en_US |
