The Kitchen & The Dining Table | v. 2
The idea is to create a system that on many levels can be read as a pixelated system. Beginning with the large scale of Manhattan and surrounding Boroughs, then zooming to the neighborhood, into the site and into the program.
The idea is to create a language that reads on many different scales and communicates the the same ideas.
Grid compiled of Summer and Winter shadows at 3PM [last time for crops to capture light], the equinox at 10AM, as well as the 29° shifted grid of Manhattan.
The hope is that this will create a system, a pixelation, of the site functions, program, and how the overall system works on various scales.
The table functions as a datum line where all personal engagement takes place. The table continues though all aspects of program. The table becomes a place were interaction begins, continues and ends at the dining table. it functions like a conveyor belt, where the food is grown, harvested, cooked and served.
*Sketching on napkins seems appropriate for drawing The Dining Table.
