Brief
Domés International Review of Architecture, following ROOM18, launches the International Design Competition COOK8. COOK8 has as its subject the design of an interior dining space for 8 people, of an area of 24 - 30m2. The space must include:
- A preparation area (conservation, readying, preparation, cleaning, storage of foodstuffs and utensils)
- A consumption area
- A hygiene area (WC and washbasin, together or separate).
The aim of the competition is the formulation of new ideas on the design of a meeting-place for people on the occasion of the preparation and consumption of food as means of socialisation. What is looked for is the creative re-interpretation and overtaking of the usual approaches which are a function of the conventional building and management arrangements of catering premises (private or communal dining-room, club, commercial restaurant, café, cafeteria, snack-bar, fast food outlet, taverna, canteen, etc.).
The three awarded entries will be realised on full scale (1:1), at the Benaki Museum, Athens, Greece.

Andreas Angelidakis describes himself as “an architect who doesn’t build.” Instead he utilizes an artistic voice that switches between the languages of architecture, curating, writing, and the internet. He often speaks about spaces, buildings, and the society that inhabits them, with the exhibition format acting as a vehicle for his ideas and a medium for his artistic practice. Previous exhibitions include the 9th Liverpool Biennial (2016, as artist and installation advisor); the XXI Baltic Triennial, Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius (2015, as artist and architect); Fin de Siècle, Swiss Institute, New York (2014, as curator and architect); The System of Objects, DESTE Foundation, Athens (2013, as co-curator and architect).
