Kerb 33: APPETITE explores the collective hunger among emerging designers for sustaining, ethical ways of working. In a climate of over indulgence, this edition serves up ideas and practices that explore what it means to nurture landscapes—and one another—through humble and austere acts of design, redefining abundance as a form of nourishment rather than excess.
Framed as a multi-course feast for designers seeking collective nourishment, the issue unfolds in stages, with each contributor bringing a distinct perspective or recipe to the table.
In this issue:
• Peggy Deamer reflects on advocacy, questioning how designers can sustain themselves and each other through their work and education.
• Su Dennett and David Holmgren delve into the intersection of food, home, and architecture, showing how the everyday acts of growing, preparing, and sharing food can form more just and resilient living systems.
• Martí Franch and Jordi Batallé frame maintenance as a form of authorship and empowerment, and a tool to foreground the richness of overlooked landscapes.
And much more...
Come hungry. Leave inspired.
