This educational kitchen creates a landmark for a space to educate the community of Chinamperas and Xochimilco with Mexican slow-cooking traditional techniques. Elements of hot and cold, fire and water, essential for cooking, are brought forth throughout the ground and verticality of the architecture. Industrial components, made of waste bricks, of a chimney, fogones, and cisterns are placed within the project to supply the needs for cooking and are designed for collaborative gathering spaces for teaching.

This project further explores the aesthetic of waste bricks or discarded bricks. Mexico is known for their extensive manufacturing of virgin bricks. In this process of production, a accumulation of bricks are considered waste and discarded due to not meeting client expectations and colour standards. This project aims to use the discarded bricks by focusing on the spectrum of colours  and discoloration due to over-firing and under-firing that occur during the production process. The use of colour is explored to display the visual 'imperfectness', creating a aesthetic and appreciation of waste bricks.
