The cube #148 hybridises the restaurant and the church to challenge the existing conventions tied to these typologies: 🏬 “The holy water in a font is used to cleanse you as you enter and leave the church, when water you drink in the restaurant cleanses the taste palate before and after food. Water is a mark for these typology-tied rituals.”[…]”Be it the waiter who brings the food or the priest, the conventional authority of occupiers is constantly challenged through the hybrid of the two typologies and the height of the podium. Will the waiter serve, stood above the guests, with the sense of authority? Will the priest be okay with giving a sermon looking up to the members of the church, stood in the last night’s feast scene?“ ⛪️ By @lloydlees @aaschool Full Text Available : https://volume64blog.com/2018/06/18/148-restaurant-church-pavilion/
#cube147 is mass eating at a confessional level: 🍷 “In this gothic church right after confession a new type of Bread and Wine McMeal is waiting for you every Sunday.” 🍷 BY SEBASTIAN SERZYSKO @sssixtynine
#cube146 uses the pop-up as a vehicle behind its #restaurantinachurch proposal: ⛪ “The Chapel” is an outdoor pop up restaurant that explores the spiritual relationship between people eating and drinking together and the space that unites them. The symbolism of the church is reconsidered in the peak of the corrugated roof and the coloured stained glass windows. A playful and informal space is formed for people to reconsider their spirituality within a broader context, both religiously and secularly, as they consider how food can unite communities. ⛪ BY EMMA COLTHURST @emcolthurst @bartlettarchucl #volume64season3
#cube145 is titled « Steeple Restaurant » for our #restaurantinachurch brief: ⛪ “Come up to the Steeple Restaurant — under one condition: you have to be deaf.
The sound of the bell is far too intense for the average ear to bear. 
In this uncommon venue, sound can be seen. Vibrations emitted from above your head make the meals come to life. The soup undulates, dancing right before your eyes. You will feel sound travelling through your body, a gentle massage while you are dining. In the church of God, where all can happen, you might not be able to hear sound, but you will see and feel it.” BY KIMBERLEY BERNEY & SAMUEL JACCARD @epflstudents

Kicking off the week with #cube144 of #thecloudparlour: ☁️ “On this sandy island stands a prominent but off-putting landmark. The first server in what used to be the Arctic circle overheated severely after the last pieces of the glacier melted away and started sending out false historic information which formed an alternative set of believes within the population. Since it became a shrine and people flocked to it in thousands as a yearly pilgrimage.” ☁️ BY SEBASTIAN SERZYSKO @sssixtynine
