culinary institute

[elevated waste]




detroit’s eastern market is a vibrant and well-used space, though the usual waste generated by such endeavors is underutilized.



the culinary institute offers its main facade as a venue to reuse and reconstitute this waste through a series of vertical, transparent storage elevators.






accumulating additional resources, the culinary institute also hosts a number of micro-kitchens for drop-in cooking, pushing back the front facade to invite the community inside.
