Welcome to the The Faculty of Environment and Technology 2022 Virtual Degree show.
The Corn Market Community Kitchens is located north of Bath city centre. The project aims to transform the grade 2 listed Corn Market building, which is currently on many heritage at risk watch lists. The building and its associated carpark has an extensive history located on Fosse Way. This area of the city is currently undervalued, lacking streetscape and connections to the river Avon. The project’s main focus is a catering school, supported by additional amenities. On completion at the school, students are offered a graduate stall to demonstrate their newly acquired skills. The project also includes a weekly gastronomic market and a demonstration garden, highlighting the relationship between food production and cooking. This public plaza encourages a greater relationship to the river. The design of the scheme has been inspired by the site's context and existing building, translating key elements of the Cornmarket building in a contemporary form.
