"First, there was a spark, then it turned into fire, The fire became a flame, and everything began with it, The flame warmed us, protected us, and nourished us, It became a light and illuminated our world, Then this light turned into an idea, Ideas created new cultures, And these cultures shaped our living world... The story of food also started with fire and has come down to us from the dark ages to the present day. People first cooked in caves, then in kitchens... The fire burning on the ground became a stove, the stone turned into a countertop, the earth into a plate... But there was always a kitchen. Humanity, discovering fire, unknowingly created the kitchen."

With the concept of tracing the path of food by breaking the shell of time, this design aims to tell the story of food at its origins, "in the kitchen." The broken U-shaped shell creates a primitive feeling in the space, supporting the archetype of the cave. It also transforms into a countertop found in every person's home and visual imagery. This countertop now serves as an exhibition object where the historical process of food is displayed, rather than a place for cooking. The central island takes inspiration from the idea of food bringing people together, serving as a gathering point or display area when needed.

From here, the user moves to the experiential area, transitioning to a similarly shaped and spacious experimental kitchen. The cave imagery from the exhibition area is continued here as well. In the U-shaped countertop area, workshop participants interact with each other and enjoy the experience of cooking under the guidance of a facilitator.

The continuation of the space, the semi-open barbecue area, serves as the final place where participants taste the food, completing the story in this way.
