Special Research Topic: "SOCIAL EATING, space in the experience of food consumption with Miss Foula's tsipouradiko as a case study"
Supervising Professor: Alexandros Psychoulis
Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly
In this study, I focus on the consumption of food as an experience and attempt to identify its relationship with social interaction and social eating. I study acts of food and drink consumption and the role of space and objects in them.
On a first level, I identify characteristics of food and its consumption, and afterwards I focus on the consumption as it occurs in Miss Foula’s tsipouradiko.
I identify some phenomena and aspects of the tsipouradiko in relation to spatial arrangements, the customers’ habits and the way that they use the space comparing them with other examples.
