Event: Slow Food + Slow Design

August 26th, 2008

Slow Food Nation is an event that celebrates the gift of food in America, and it happens in San Francisco during the Labor Day Weekend. The event gathers enthusiasts of the growing movement of sustainable food, and brings options of healthy tasty food to thousands of people. This year’s new feature is the collaboration of several architecture firms in San Francisco, which collaborated with curators to build the stands and present projects for slow food to be appreciated. Naturally, all the projects are eco-friendly, and some of them include very clever tricks for the reuse of materials. A good example of this is the cheese stand created by Macy Architecture, built with 1,100 milk cartons that build its structure; a smart way to hold back fast food culture, seducing both for the advantages of healthy eating and for the delightful spaces in which it can be tasted. The event will go on until September 1st. Check out more images after the jump.
