Are dinning rooms obsolete?
The kitchen as a place of transformation and alchemy, “a technological workshop, a factory, a place for invention” (Emmanuel Coccia) versus the dinning room as a separate space for shared and controlled consumption, a place for pleasure, conviviality and lingering.
Now that we cook and feed ourselves, the need for a secondary space for consumption seems like a novelty?
So why keep the tradition of allocating separate spaces for shared meals? Or even solitary ones? Can a living room be occupied by a single person or is it contradictory to its purpose of providing community?
