Appetizer (above) - Chicken Croquettes served out of an automated bird feeders accompanied by four sauces, dill buttermilk, sweet tomato, hot mustard and shoyu.  Check out Tak Cheung’s (our friend & past collaborator) final project at NYU’s ITP entitled, Eat Like What You Eat. VIDEO HERE Based on the idiom “You Are What You Eat,” this thesis is a thematic dining experience that guides the invited guests through the process of food production, in particular, to take on the perspective of the food they are enjoying at that moment. This meal is about chicken, being told through an industrialized farm setting. A four-course meal is designed to reference various stages of the production process. Iconic farm tools like an automatic bird feeders and drinkers are articulated and rendered in high-end tabletop-ware materials to be used as serving apparatuses during the thematic meal. This meal is designed to evoke a story of the food’s production-journey in the sole-diner of the meal and audience of the documentation.

  11. China Academy of Art, Hangzhou China designed by Amateur Architecture Photo by Lauren Crahan   Excerpt of article that appears on The Architectural League of New York website: There were multiple routes to any space. Buildings were connected by bridges, ramps, earth berms, or roofs. The sequence back to our studio in Building 15 was a calibrated combination of inside and outside, cut and folded. We climbed a set of exterior stairs and penetrated a brick screen to arrive at an open-air walled courtyard. Rain fell into the center and was collected in a shallow reflecting pool. From here we passed through a large pivoting wall and emerged into a centralized atrium. At each side was a switchback stair where one landing faced the atrium and the other opened without window back to the reflecting pool courtyard. As we entered the studio from the hallway ringing the atrium, I had forgotten whether we were now inside or outside.
