Parramatta Square

Chef and curator Xinyi Lim joins architect and researcher Anna Puigjaner to prepare local ingredients that tell global food stories in a temporary kitchen in Parramatta Square.

Puigjaner has travelled to Peru, Japan and Mexico to research the cultural and economic histories of food. For Sydney Design Week, she is collaborating with chef and curator Xinyi Lim on a special culinary event that builds on her ongoing research. Highlighting ingredients and produce from across the world, including Western Sydney, and bringing the act of cooking into the public domain, this urban kitchen is open to all.

Speakers

Professor Anna Puigjaner is an architect, researcher and co-founder of MAIO, an architectural office based in Barcelona specialising in spatial systems that evolve over time. MAIO has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Guggenheim Bilbao, the Venice Biennale and the Chicago Architecture Biennale. Her research project Kitchenless City: Architectural Systems for Social Welfare was awarded a Harvard Graduate School of Design Wheelwright Prize. She is currently professor of Architecture and Care at ETH Zürich.

Xinyi Lim (林心仪) is the Program Manager for the Vitocco Kitchen, Powerhouse Parramatta. The Vitocco Kitchen will be a 200-seat demonstration kitchen in the new Powerhouse Parramatta, which will bring together leading chefs and food producers from across Australia and around the world to educate and inspire communities and audiences. Her exploration of the food industry has seen her cooking in several notable kitchens in New York, Mexico City and Sydney, including Firedoor, OzHarvest Refettorio and as opening head chef of Café Freda’s, as well as freelancing as a food consultant and food stylist. Through her ongoing venture, Megafauna, she uses food as an artistic tool for social justice, building community and the exploration of culture and heritage.
