Global Kichen, the heart of the home

“Global Kitchen: the kitchen, the heart of the home”, is the second publication of Global Kitchen, a multidisciplinary project created by Cosentino, to study the space of domestic cooking. The study reflects how they materialize in the design and use of this room, social changes and new ways of life of the 21st century. A space, of a multifunctional character, that recovers its position as a vital nucleus of housing and ceases to be basically female. It goes from hosting the more traditional activity of food preparation to becoming the place of worship of health and well-being as well as the care of the environment. In addition, social networks are the absolute protagonists to approach culinary culture and transform consumption habits according to criteria of energy efficiency, sustainability or recycling.
