For example, in NOLA, it's ridiculously hot, so many of the houses had galleries or separate kitchens where cooking was done so it wouldn't heat up the house too much. That aesthetic continues to flourish as the New Orleans "style", even in new construction with air conditioning. Similarly, I remember learning about how houses in the Northeast were designed in the 1700s so that the heat from the kitchen dispersed throughout the house. I know that both of these examples are climate-based, but I'm sure there are other examples of food informing architecture (and possibly vice versa).Cailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624288431475600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472222.post-86997475154133627732009-11-05T18:12:41.195-05:002009-11-05T18:12:41.195-05:00i think the answer to our question is that in an i...i think the answer to our question is that in an ideal world, they are both equally and almost completely 100% anthropology. at least that's the way i see it. im sure there are other opinions out there about cooking. i know the opposing opinions definitely exist in the architecture world.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037200083933456060noreply@blogger.com
