The Kitchen
The culture of the kitchen - a sophisticated portrayal for planners and users
The kitchen is regaining its role as the central living space in the home. Since the 1990s, the kitchen has moved into the fashion and design spotlight, and this publication examines and reviews its significance in an architectural, cultural, social and economical context. The authors and contributors look at important developments and revolutionary kitchen concepts of the last decades including standardised kitchens and open kitchen/living spaces. They also review design basics, current trends and the changing demands of patchwork families and single person households - even culinary aspects are included.
