Slow Food is a concept for a restaurant that embodies local ingredients and connecting the process of obtaining food, cooking and dining into one. This is considered to be sustainable and creates an experience for the diner that is different from the traditional restaurant. For me, this project was about a common architectural element - the wall. I studied this element from the experience of enclosure to materiality in order to enhance the slow food restaurant experience. The result was to use to the wall to guide the experience of the diner from entry, through food growth and cooking to finally dining. The material of the wall was also considered. I chose a stacked structure of earth materials, stone and paper to make up the wall. The stacking effect could be altered to create openings and perforations. Using these elements to embody the earth's structure was a chance to create an experience about something we do not like to consider the process of; food.
