“I want people to know that food … (has) also got something to with what you can do for others in terms of sharing… in terms of eradicating poverty, and making sure that some soul doesn’t go to bed hungry…” - A. Ravi. August, 2020

Can you taste it? Whenever you walk around supermarkets, travel ads or even just the bus shelters, we have seen countless food companies associating food with architecture. Just like architecture, food serves an important backdrop to our daily conversations and relationships. In this episode, Akila and I explore how the culture of food and eating impacts the way we experience architecture ourselves.
