The specialness of local food lies in its process of making, the act of sequencing the whole process, the aromatic journey from raw product to finished end product, the freshness of ingredients, and the timeliness of the whole process. The project explores and redefines the kitchen and other auxiliary programs are being folded in it. The kitchen activities are enhances and highlighted through the use of senses. It focuses on how architecture can be manipulated and enhances the food making process, giving an opportunity to not only learn it but also experience it to its fullest. Circulation is seen as a catalyst for experience and modifying the preparation of food in culinary arts. Activities to pause and engage with the surrounding have been created by constantly changing the sensual and physical appearance of space. Hence, in this project architecture is used to express the beauty of food making process in our context through a culinary centre.
