Introduction As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive?

1 Introduction While it is the expectation of this thesis to have all previously discussed literature, case studies and analysis inform the formulation of an architectural framework inspired by food, a clearer mood of exploration is needed to further demonstrate how this can be done. Armed with the understanding that the definition of food encompasses individual ingredients, its preparation, and consumption, this section considers the transformative methodology of architect Sarah Wigglesworth and Jeremy Till as a point of departure.

He believed in the importance of play in a child’s learning as creative activity. Play provided the means for a child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development which are necessary elements in educating the “whole” children allowing them to use all imaginative powers and physical movements to explore their interests.
