Hello and welcome to our blog! We are NYSID’s MFA-(1) 2011 class. This site will be a forum and discussion of all things design. But to start, we're focusing on Kitchen Design since the seed for this blog sprouted in our Kitchen and Bath studio class.
While visiting show rooms and browsing internet sites we have come across some of the latest ideas in materials and appliances. Every week it seemed as though something new was out on the market and technology was turning the kitchen into something divergently different from the past. Our professor then asked us to take a leap in our minds and imagine what the Kitchen of the Future would be like. Travel forward fifty years: will the average kitchen be as different today as a kitchen from 1950? As our final assignment we decided to further investigate this idea and share our findings with a greater audience.
Each student from our program has taken on a separate topic concerning the Kitchen of the Future and has written an essay based on the information gathered from their research. Such topics include: The History of Kitchen Design, Universal Design, Social Justice in Food Supply, Kitchen as Nutritionist, Back to Basics, Efficient Energy Consumption, The Smart Kitchen and Materials. What resulted was a web of interlocking topics and ideas.
Happy Reading!
