Post Commensuality
The act of commensality, to eat together, is
decreasing in current day society. In the UK, 1 in 4 eat their meals
alone. Society is increasingly viewing
eating as an individual act. Post commensuality seeks to reject this condition
and proposes for 500 people to cook collectively and dine together within a kitchenless
housing typology that responds to contemporary ways of life.
The project adapts an existing residential block in Pimlico, drawing upon previous kitchenless models from the New York Family Hotels, to Swedish co -housing schemes and the only kitchenless typology in the UK - the Isokon building.
