LEMNISCATE KITCHEN COMPONENTS

The leminiscate kitchen takes its name from the "lemniscate of Bernoulli" a plane double curve that is used also as a symbol to mean “infinite” in maths. It is a mnemonic title.
The kitchen is made of three different components located on the perimeter of a circumference with radius equal to that of the Ecuadorian radius of the earth.
Each component is a mixture between an stereotype office corridor, a Ikea kitchen, a vending machine, a supermarket and an industrial food chain.
The three components enclose partially a narrow space, a corridor that is apparently infinite because it is not possible to distinguish the curve.
These components are called as follow: THE VENDING WALL, THE EVERDOOR CLUSTER AND THE CARPETED CONVEYOR.

VENDING WALL
It is a stainless steel grid (as any industrial kitchen appliance) of equal cubic pigeon-holes that displays individual pieces of food such as carrots, onions, meat, fish, prawns, milk,....
Each cubic pigeon-hole is covered with a glass as if it would be the shop window of a jewellery, in this sense it is a Deluxe vending machine
The user selects the products and cook procedures or directy selects a dish of any restaurant in the world.
When the meal is ordered the vending wall starts removing each product in order to prepare your meal and after some minutes your meal is ready, packed in a cardboard box and sealed with a plastic cover.
This procedure is simulated, it seems that the vending wall is really using the products you select but it is just its skin, it is a superficial simulation, because your meal is made industrially behind the skin.
Once the vending wall has finished the meal, a drawer opens and an elevation mechanism rises a tray with your meal.

EVERDOOR CLUSTER
This cluster consists of units called HYBRID CANOPIES.
Each Hybrid Canopy consists of a domestic door that has attached a residual office false ceiling.
Each door gives access to any office place in the world.
The ever-door cluster is located in the external part of the curve.
Each hybrid canopy has a coordinates in the world that correspond to a location within the curve, using a extrapolation of longitude and latitude. This way depending on the meal you order in the vending wall you can go to eat it to any dinning desk in the world.


THE CARPETED CONVEYOR
A carpeted conveyor connects both former components
It transports you through the kitchen in order to select the products
For each selection of food, the ever-doors cluster is relocated, the hybrid canopies change their position according to the original coordinates of the products that are selected in the vending wall.
Each products coordinates are related to the doors coordinates, so depending on the meal you select, the unique frame-door of the cluster matches one of the doors. When this finally happens, the carpeted conveyor brings you to the exit door.
