PANCAKE CULTURE KITCHEN
Technical University of Ostwestfalen Lippe
Mobile pancake kitchen with flag workshop
A culinary intervention in public space
LIPPE (GER)
How is a social place created?
How do we design spaces in which we feel comfortable?
Why are kitchens cosy?
A disused cargo bike was converted into a mobile pancake kitchen and a flag workshop during the student workshop. The Pancake Culture Kitchen invites you to eat, linger and exchange ideas about baked flatbreads, pancakes and flatbreads from around the world. Flatbreads are part of everyday bread in a wide variety of cultures. In Ukraine there is mlinzi, in Syria there is kataif, in Japan they eat okonomiyaki, in Turkey there is gozelem and in Ethiopia they bake injera, ... . In the conversation about flatbreads, in addition to international recipes and cultural peculiarities, wishes, ideas and dreams are also collected and applied to flags. The wind carries wishes and dreams into the urban space.
The smell of pancakes and eating pancakes together encourages dialogue with Detmold citizens. The workshop aims to strengthen physical and social coexistence and stimulate and encourage collective interventions in public urban spaces. The converted cargo bike became a symbol of encounter and exchange at the Detmold University of Technology as part of the Detmold Design Week.
