Cook 8 - The new dining place
EPIKYKLOS supports architecture and culture once more, realizing on a 1:1 scale the awarded entries of the COOK8 International Design Competition at Benaki Museum on Piraeus Street.
EPIKYKLOS, in partnership with Domés International Review of Architecture — which challenged architects with the question of the production and consumption of food as a means of socializing — combined cooking and architecture in a recipe of excellence. Nefos, Glorious Holistic, Sea Sex & Sun — the EPIKYKLOS team lived a challenging construction experience, creating three gathering spaces of unique philosophy and aesthetics.
