SOUL KITCHEN RESTAURANT
Each Culture has its cuisine, which expresses and in a way represents its fruit, its landscape, its character and its way of life. Also, the place, where this typical food is prepared, represents a specific understanding of how to treat the raw fruit: a certain method of cooking, boiling, frying, toasting, roasting, baking, etc.
Furthermore: the locations, where these typical dishes are prepared and served and eaten, stand for a certain way of preparing them: a well-defined sequence of steps; a long-lasting experience including all the necessary special tools; the process of cooking, frying, steaming, or toasting; a certain setting of the interior and the adjacent exterior space including material and construction.

The studio project focused on the design of a Rooftop Restaurant in the middle of Dessau. This restaurant was to implement collaborative cooking and dining as a new impact on city development. The Y highrise buildings as the tallest ones around should work as an upgrade and attractor for the city, its architecture as a sculptural sign to the city and on the other hand provide stunning views.
