This is scenario is where this project finds its place, in Aachen: St. Fronleichnam Church’s half-forgotten, half-sunken souterrain and, to shine a light, make it a Soup Kitchen. Sunday every day.
The souterrain, the soup kitchen’s location, momentarily is a sequence of rooms. The soup kitchen -the shared kitchen is a chance for reanimation. With the change of program, the souterrain alters from enclosed to open, from remote to mundane, and from Sunday to every day. The soup kitchen is lively and dynamic because it is a shared kitchen. Every day people of the neighbourhood come to the shared kitchen and prepare lunch. The shared kitchen is not only a place to cook a fresh meal but also a platform for each community to keep in touch with each other. Making food together is not just about cooking, is about sharing your ideas, your culture, and your recipes.
