The use of food as a social integrator. A project which aims to transcend cultural boundaries through food and drink to rejuvenate communities. The design will allow users and visitors to experience the culture and values of Vietnam, through a community based hospitality and educational scheme designed for an existing community.
The purpose of this project is twofold. Firstly, to raise awareness of the culture of Vietnam, and secondly to regenerate the site by maintaining its historical character through adaption of the historic Devonport Market Hall, located outside central Plymouth.
Through extrapolation we aim to transport those aspects of culture that relate to food into the given space, carrying across the vibrant principles of the community, which despite the country’s rapid development remain at the core of its society. Within this age of redevelopment, we hope to reinstate the age of values and cultural identity.
