CENTRE FOR CULINARY ARTS: WHERE FOOD MEETS ARCITECTURE

Abstract

Food remains an important placemaking quality in the city. Since the presence of food in public spaces provides a draw that supports other city functions and boosts the social life of public spaces. Thus, food is a great placemaker that draws people too plazas and streetscapes, and people draw more people , and so on, until a space that might normally be quiet and underutilized is suddenly full of life. Food and architecture are complementary creative fields due to the abundance of art in both. These similar projections are excited to investigate a newer perspective, one that could add value to our cities and engage a diverse range of citizens. It's captivating to see how food and architecture have always brought people together and encouraged social interactions and activities. Both branches of study, given their similar natures and characteristics of different parameters, encouraged me to explore new perspectives, engage the public, and provide a sense of place. The Culinary Arts Centre functions as a driving force for the revitalization of the surrounding neighborhoods, exemplifying one of the intricate urban relationships between architecture and food. It is envisioned as a hybrid of formal and informal spaces.
