| Title |
Culinary Topology: Rethinking the Parking Lot Threshold at the Montreal Hospital
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that the parking lot is the arrival area for many people entering a hospital. She points out that this space has an opportunity to become something more than a featureless utilitarian space for cars. It could offer an integrated experience of 'threshold'. The author uses culinary theory as an architectural tool to redefine the parking lot of the McGill University Hospital Centre as a 'threshold'. She argues that cuisine will offer a metaphorical design language that will act as interlocutor in the design process of rethinking the arrival space between car and hospital. She claims that cooking is an appropriate guide for this process - it is an act which transforms raw materials through acts of combinations, manipulations, and deformations toward a delightful end. The author uses three cooking elements: blanching, sauce, and soufflé to transform the physical elements of the underground entry threshold at the hospital with an aim to make the experience more appropriate as a gateway between sickness and health.
