Chef's Iconography: The 3 Weave
Three materials- First, a concrete volume give the pavilion structure and form. Second, a continuous copper plane functions as a plane for sourcing products, sleeping, cooking, and eating. Third, wooden sticks build a garden system that permits shade and invites directionality. The chef's three materials of concrete, copper, and wood, reflect each live, work, and public space. The three materials weave to construct a chef's iconography with the continuous copper plane as constant throughout the program.
The plane allows the chef to source their own products- making a farm to table ideology possible even in a city. By creating a pottery-making area to build dishes to serve food on, an area for a goat for dairy resources, a garden for vegetables, a bed and other seating, the chef does not need outside sources.The weaves permit the chef to be shown through architecture with an emphasis on work and personal life woven together. Communal space entails the whole site as systems connect and a bike lane through the center invites people into experiencing the entire site. The weaves not only allow for internal sourcing but different programs and people in the site to be connected as a flowing community. The ability from the kitchen to see into formal dining area, pottery making area share table and meet in the duel stove and pottery kiln, market area opens up to private space, all invite for one another to collaborate. These nodes alongside weaves create a flowing system for the iconography of a chef.
