Our goal in a workshop with fellow students from the Peter Behrens School of Arts was to construct a mobile kitchen. This kitchen serves as more than just a cooking space. It is designed to foster social gatherings and connect people through the act of cooking.
The requirement was that it could be transported on a bicycle and also inside the building. The material should be recycled as much as possible so that no new material has to be used. The kitchen is only the infrastructure of the dining room and the dining room is always where the kitchen is.
In the first phase, there was a design competition with eight entries. The external appearance and the concept of a folding roof were taken from my team's approach. The chassis was taken from another design.

The kitchen was then brought to life through the collective efforts of 30 students. We utilized wood from a discarded shelf, other pieces of wood waste, square steel from a discarded table frame, and a found lorry tarpaulin to create the kitchen.
The result is a kitchen that can be transported very compactly but offers plenty of space once assembled.
