Firekitchen is one of the winning projects of Creative Food Cycles open call.
Creative Food Cycles (CFC) is a project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of European Union with the aim of developing a cultural and holistic approach, joining all the aspects of Food Cycle: from production to distribution (phase 1), from distribution to consumption (phase 2) and from consumption to disposition (phase 3). This means also to stimulate with an open and inclusive approach a deeper interconnection among cultural creators, cultural professionals, institutional stakeholders and active urban society.

“thesis preparation project” /
cultivating experimentation and exchange
guest lecturer, project lead “Objects-Spaces-Services”
How much courage does it need to be an eco-social Designer? How do we want to work (together!)?
What is the social space we are acting in? What are the “rules” of the context? How can we cultivate exchange, foster diversity? (How) do people perceive their/our environment? How (can we contribute) to create the best impact in our society?
The 3rd semester is dedicated to the preparation of the final thesis project. Students develop their own proposition and attitude by addressing relevant societal issues, entering a productive and self-responsible working process and establishing a culture of experimentation and exchange. The objective is not the generation of finished, completed design solutions, but a focus on explorative design processes proposing relevant contributions to the respective field.
Approaches and themes are diverse, but all address contingent issues – overconsumption, fragile biodiversity, increasingly constrained perceptions of our surroundings, lack of connection to nature, participation in making and placemaking, importance and role of rituals in society, problematics of educational systems etc.
In challenging these societal issues through design, students ask us to reflect on our current notion of ‘progress’ – can we develop new, micro-, local, rural and urban perspectives?

UQAM Montreal/Ècole de design | international week | may 12 – 19 2018
The one week Workshop “Public Production” took place in UQUAM during semaine international and focussed on a concept for an interactive, performative small series production of concrete paving tiles for the location of Metro St. Laurent. Avenue St. Laurent is an important historic street dividing the city of Montreal in the western and eastern part and marking the path of immigration wich is both still strongly visible.
The first part of the workshop was an analysis of different influences in the real context: traces, tracks, stories, history, cohabitation, vegetation, cultures, neighbourhood, choreographies, etc. Various topics were actively investigated by a first performative improvisation in the real context (experimentation / interaction / light intervention / questionary etc.)
The second phase introduced the idea of a small series production, resulting in a concept and scematic drawing of a production line set-up for the manufactural process of the fabrication of paving slabs from concrete or other suitable building materials with the strategic focus on a preparation in real context evoking a relevant, thoughtful and appropriate interaction with persons or objects in coherence with the preceding analysis.
For the presentation of the workshop building material and process were replaced by an equivalent food material and preparation process (ingredients, composition, consistency, processing, tools etc.). A prototype set-up for the production of a small series of paving tiles from edible ingrediens was built, material experimentation with different food ingredients trying variations regarding consistency and process.
Learning objectives included an interaction in real context, originality and relevanc of concept, quality and empirical variance of material experimentation and the capacity of translation between abstraction levels and implementation.
Let’s build a kitchen!
The Fire Kitchen is an exemplary process in which raw materials will be transformed commonly into a usable kitchen, a dinner table and a shelter: pots, fire stoves, tableware and roof tiles will be formed from clay and baked in a wood fire, obtaining a black surface. A common feast will be prepared with recipes from all participants and shared around a long table.
Together with all cultures
The workshop takes place at the canteiro abierto of Vila Itororó. The history of the quarter is strongly formed and influenced by the togetherness and coexistence of different cultural backgrounds and living situations. Throughout the whole process, communication, exchange and mutual learning is the main goal.
Building, Cooking, Eating, Thinking …
A common place is formed in a playful and creative way through sharing the daily activity of cooking, reflecting on the role of shapes and their culturally developed appearences, the moment of creation, food ingredients and their origins, recipes and tools needed, eating habits, etc.
Learning by doing
Through hands on work, the sensual contact with clay and cooking on open fire, an archaic experience is given. The project wants to rise the curiosity and understanding of necessary steps during the developing process from raw material to a product and a cultural form.
Exchanging and understanding
We set out to accumulate multicultural knowledge around ceramics and cooking traditions, fire and transformation. Next to material flows we observe and create knowledge flows which aim to happen beyond social, cultural or gender-specific categories. We investigate the practical knowledge inscribed into objects and traditions of different cultures and aim for a convivial setting around shared food that has a low treshhold in order to create a fruitful exchange.
How to do?
The Introduction about making clay objects and using them for cooking and eating on saturday 30th of september is open for all interested people.
The different topics, Drinking, Cooking, Burning and Roof will be approached in one-day workshops.
After drying, all clay objects will be burned in a collective fire resembling a ritual performance.
The final 3 day feast will be a continuous sequence of common cooking and sharing of food, drinks, recipes and stories.
You can do it, too!
We wish to work with a diversity of participants from different backgrounds with all different knowledge, age, skills and interests – students, neighbours, musicians, cooks, amateurs, etc.
For you:
The workshop is free of charge.

FIRE KITCHEN was guest at constructlabs the Arch in Genk in June 2017.
The aim during this Residency stay was on the one hand to develop an easily repeatable workflow for producing simple personal objects, a cup, a plate and a bowl, for the Arch kitchen and ongoing workshops. You can find the manual here.
On the other hand, large cooking objects for the Arch Kitchen were developed and built, such as a Stove, Tajine, Comal, a natural refrigerator, several jugs and large bowls etc.

Einführung in den Entwurf | Designgrundlagen
Wem gehört der öffentliche Raum?
Wer gestaltet ihn, wo und für wen? Wer fühlt sich zuständig, wer sogar zuhause?
Wo sind die Grenzen zwischen öffentlich und privat? Am Gartenzaun, der Wohnungstür oder auf unserer Haut?
Wie wirkt die Gestaltung des öffentlichen Raums?
Wo laufen die Ströme der Fussgänger, wie funktioniert diese unsichtbare Infrastruktur, die wir täglich benutzen, wo sind Berührungspunkte und wo ergeben sich Kollisionen, wie entsteht Nachbarschaft? Wo halten sich die Menschen gerne auf? Kann man die Choreografien des Alltags sichtbar machen und was kann man darin erkennen?
StadtGestalten
Im Sommersemester werden wir einige spezifische Orte im Umkreis der UdK besiedeln, beobachten, analysieren porträtieren und durch kleine Eingriffe temporär verändern, und sehen, was sich daraus an Potential, Auseinandersetzung, Veränderung etc. für Passanten und Anwohner ergeben kann.
Die Projekte können poetisch, kritisch, praktisch oder grün sein – sie testen die Regeln der Strasse, auf der Suche nach lebenswerten urbanen Räumen.
Es sollen an einem konkreten Ort anhand von Beobachtungen, Analysen, Interventionen zuerst methodisch in kürzeren gemeinsamen Aufgaben verschiedene Arbeitsweisen erprobt werden, die in der zweiten Hälfte des Semesters zu einem eigenen Entwurf führen.

New Studio in Berlin Wedding – coming soon
“FIRE-KITCHEN” is a public session, in which an exemplary process will take place, from raw materials, food ingredients and clay, to a ready to use kitchen and fully set dinner table, open for participation: pots, fire stoves and tableware will be formed from clay, baked in a simple wood fire obtaining a black matte surface through reduction and oxidation. A dinner feast with recipes from all participants will be cooked and eaten collectively during the opening.
Through hands on work and sensual contact with raw clay, an experience of the archaic archetype of cooking on open fire, the understanding and accessibility of the complete production process is rising. The project wants to awaken our curiosity for the processes behind the things and how everything is interconnected: raw materials, labour and economic factors and resulting prices are often incomprehensible. The production conditions of low quality massproduced objects reflect the little appreciation and lack of connection with the origin of the objects.
The project is inspired by the brazilian Barro Preto pottery, which is distinguishable for its black color from baking in open fire, allowing them breathe, making them thus able to cook in them. Earthenware baked on open fire can be found in all cultures, such as the moroccan Tajine, the mexican Barro Negro from Oaxaca, turkish Güvec, the japanese Nabe, the german Römertopf etc.
Finally, cooking is an activity, which belongs mostly to the sphere of private life, to the private household. However, public cooking can shape a new concept of the household, a productive unit that is more socially engaged and diffused to its context, deconstructing the modernistic idea of the household as a secluded, private unit of consumption.
The FIRE-KITCHEN takes place during Vienna Design Week 2016 Stadtarbeit Format.
The project will be realized in collaboration with Caritas project Kompa for integration.

deutschland – uruguay | sobremesa mobile
Most friendships starts by sitting together at a table. But what to do, if there is no table or kitchen, and the only
common space is in the middle of the city? In the occasion of 160 years of german – uruguayan friendship,
architects, artists and designers from Montevideo and Berlin come together for a one day workshop in order to
develop mobile cooking constructions.
Eating, drinking and talking will take place the same evening.
The Instituto Cervantes, as a partner, will offer its courtyard as the startpoint of this moving activity also
connecting the new exhibition ‘’Ghierra Intendente’’ with the city.
On a mobile sobremesa, crossing language- and continental borders, towards cultural bondings and friendships!
We invite you all to try the ‘’Empanadas’’ and the construction!

Workshop at Constructlab Project “Mons Invisible – Jardin Suspendu” during Mons Cultural Capital 2015.
Bread as a tool for collaboration and exchange
All through the Mons Diffusion week, driven by an interest in the relationship of people to the practical doing, Johanna Dehio organizes a range of exercises and talks revolving around the manual preparation of wood fired sour dough bread.
Through her own experience with making dough for baking bread, Johanna has become aware that it requires a certain amount of time and commitment. Every day, in order to keep the sourdough alive, it needs to be „fed“ it with a certain amount of water and flour. Without this daily attention, the dough can go bad and „die“, in which case you have to start all over. The workshop aims to explore the idea that being involved in the care of something and can have a strong impact on one’s well-being.
Building on her own experience of using collective food preparation as a tool for communication, Johanna invites the members of the Diffusion Workshop to join her one after the other, every day, for feeding the dough and reflecting on their relationship to those moments of practical activity where the brain doesn’t necessarily have to join in. Having the hands in the dough is a special sensual moment of being unfocussed, letting thoughts come free, solving problems unconsciously, almost like sleeping, dreaming, recovering time or meditation. When do we allow these moments to happen? While walking or driving, cooking, or taking care of the laundry? We all have a packed daily life and follow our plans and sometimes forget to give much space for such moments occasionally happening along the way.
Another topic is our consumer relationship to bread, a diet component shared by most people: Where do we buy our bread? Does it make a difference whether the ingredients are local or have gone a few time across Europe before we get them in our hands? How important is the taste? How much work is included in the production, where and by whom? Beyond the topic of bread, the talks tackle the question of food consumption in general and of a healthy relationship to what we eat.
These intimate „Sour-dough Talks“ are supplemented by two moments shared by the group, where food preparation is used as a tool for reflection and communication about the group dynamic. During the first evening, the participants are asked to present themselves through a pizza made from a wide range of ingredients, giving an impression of who they are or how they feel: sweet, spicy, green, red, homogenous, chaotic… After a week of sharing daily life as well as an intense common exploration of what it means to learn and experiment together, the participants are invited to get their hands into the dough and bake again, this time a sourdough bread baked in the wood oven. Choosing the ingredients added to the bread dough and thereby varying on taste, color, size and shape, they try their best to offer to another team member a personal bread that can tell what they have learned about them, how they feel towards them, but also sometimes the untold and the private that can only be speculated on. There is time for reflection and sharing common issues while the workshop fades out into an evening apéritif.

Alexander Römer & Johanna Dehio
Within the framework of Vienna Design Week 2013 ‚Stadtarbeit‘, designers Johanna Dehio and Dominik Hehl initiated a project named CONSTRUISINE.
CONSTRUISINE is an open kitchen / furniture workshop built on a public square in the centre of Vienna. It invites neighbors and passers-by to build furniture and cook food according to suggested recipes and templates. For the designers construction materials and nutrition can be regarded equally as elementary basics for creation.
They are seen as essential components of our daily existence. The practice of building and cooking are similar in their use of tools, measurements and improvisational thinking. CONSTRUISINE interweaves both activities and transforms the Sankt Elisabeth Platz in Vienna into a temporary creative meeting point.
CONSTRUISINE is a public low-cost, consumption-conscious, temporary initiative. All raw materials, both ingredients and construction materials, where obtained through donations from local businesses. The basic set-up consists of working- and kitchen desks, that through their design conduct their users into a self-explanatory production process. Through these tools the designers propose simple food and furniture recipes, based on clever use of recycled materials, that inpsire people to participate and develop their own. Workshops and food are distributed free of charge.
For the construction and maintenance of CONSTRUISINE the designers work closely with a group of youngsters from a local Caritas-program. During opening times designers are present to accompany visitors with cooking and constructing furniture. The program includes children workshops in cooking and furniture building.
