The Berlin’s Kitchenlab bridges the gap between highly specialised culinary education and the community. As a school that acts like a social catalyst for its surroundings. The building is located in Otto Park in Alt Moabit, an upcoming area, surrounded by food venues at the end of a public axis. The building consists of a central street with a public program surrounded by other specialised programs, resulting in a building that is easily accessible by the public while still tailored towards the program’s specific needs, like the distribution of food and support functions. All functions are situated on the façade making the building a frame that displays all contents. This makes the culinary university move past a traditional cooking school and become valuable for its immediate and broader surroundings.
