Hope everyone is having a great day so far!
Branching off from my previous blog, Post Food Scarcity, I wanted to more deeply explore something that I eluded to in that post, and that is the Community Kitchen. How a shared space amongst the community fosters a sense of togetherness while also helping to reduce the redundancies of appliances and tools since not everyone would need to procure their own. Is it possible for everyone to come together in such a way? And how does that impact the daily lives and spatial needs of the individual? Find out here:
What's your opinion on this take? Could you envision yourself living in such a community? If not, what would you change? Always happy to hear other opinions, ideas, complaints, and experiences, so feel free to share! The more viewpoints I can experience, the stronger the ideas! 💪
If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read and hope you have a great rest of your day!!
one thing that helps mitigate this somewhat is finding a place with long tables / bench seating (where multiple groups are forced to share a table) creating a slightly more communal atmosphere
there is a big cultural split in the approach to restaurants between Western and Eastern societies – US especially choose restaurants for “atmosphere” and “status” (“the place to be seen”) whereas Chinese choose their restaurants by how loud and busy they are (people enjoying good food make more noise)
