"Blijkeuken" is a housing project that establishes a community-based caring system by challenging the kitchen's status as a place for domestic chores and therefore the existing construct of housing typology in Dutch society. It pushes the role of meal-preparing spaces in our living environment to become a place where social-making happens. By inserting cooking facilities at the intersection of spaces with different degrees of publicities, the kitchens themselves become bridges for communications and interactions and thus facilitate a communal, bottom-up welfare network.
