Food is part of our daily routine, it satisfies one of our most basic needs and at the same time it is one of the greatest pleasures of our lives. Eating together makes you feel as if you belong to a group and in a community we experience security and acceptance. When undertaking something together in a relaxed atmosphere, it is much easier to strike up a conversation with a stranger. In an improvised situation e.g. at a sausage stand, we can naturally come into conversation with the people around us than for example when we are standing on a bus. 

Just a few, simple means are needed to make it possible to cook. The Culinary Construction is reduced to the essentials: a hotplate, work surface, pantry shelf. It stays as an outline of a cooking element: the chipboard used mediates something cheap and tenuous and on the shelves only the most important ingredients for boiled rice and recipes and cardboard crockery can be found. With simple means it is possible to construct a small cooking site at any time and any place. The Culinary Construction is an alternative to the highly technical, multifunctional designer kitchens in which not much cooking goes on at all.
