Concept

Culinary Art School.

Contemporary urban life has transformed itself into one where speed predominates. Surveys reveal that this fast driven life style encourages unhealthy eating habits. As a consequence, our urban context has shifted into a mass produced, compact and homogeneous chain of “Fast Foods” and “Fast Buildings”. It’s construction is identical, with a universal flavor, monotone, with a fast and pre-designated movement. Speed, by itself, is not bad. However, it has come a routinely way of life.

Images influence unavoidable demands on society and, as such this site has the potential of becoming a faciliator to society. The demands for standarized products and the “uniformity” of fast food retails reveals a paradoxical relationaship between slow and fast “food movement”. Now, food and architecture are similar in many ways.
