Beginning with present day facts and conditions that have led to and challenged the health of developed nations - especially that of separating eaters from food sources - Andrés Duany will talk about the importance of incorporating agriculture into contemporary life and give examples of evolving and in-practice solutions from work he and his firm, Duany Plater-Zyberk, have undertaken in that direction. Accompanied by gorgeous illustrations of food production along the entire transect, from wild forageable land to window , Andrés will introduce the theory of Agrarian Urbanism and how he sees it going forward and changing the world.
Don't miss the Salon style discussion on the topic, one week later, Wednesday, August 4th 6-8 pm at Center Cafe in Union Station.
