Description

The project is exploring the tessellation of cultural and culinary practices of kitchens. Throughout the centuries kitchen design was influenced by social customs, traditional cooking methods, and equipment, technologies at the time demonstrating the impact of cultural heritage and their culinary traditions, transforming interior layout and changing domestic lifestyles. The design is a reinterpretation of western and eastern cuisines showcasing their spatial transformations based on time, different activities and equipment, their environmental setting, type of cuisine, and cultural backgrounds. Thus, a narrative representation technique using different layers of information is developed into sequential stories which alternate between old and new understandings of what a kitchen space might be or become. The tessellation is created through the superimposition of different timeframes and interior kitchen layouts and questions its future vision as a spatial agent.
