The Table: Stories and Food Centre


A Community Food Hall and Library
by Olivia Janiszewski


The act of eating and storytelling are one and the same. The former site of the NCC comprises both a dining space and library where sharing food, recipes, books and telling stories are encouraged through a winding table structure that morphs throughout the site. The table creates spaces where people can gather, eat, study, read, give cooking classes and teach. The curves allow for this flexibility and accessibility. The ultimate goal is to generate an open space where many foods and storytelling rituals can coexist.
