- Summary
- "Since ancient times, and across all civilizations, the kitchen has been the nucleus of the house, the concentration of a home's warmth and richness. Throughout the centuries, kitchens have undergone countless transformations, depending on the time in history, tradition, or the socio-economic position of the owners." "Today, open kitchens respond to an era in which humans need to live in a flexible space. Aesthetics and mobility play a role and represent a challenge to architects and designers, who must find contrast and harmony in a unique, multifunctional space that often presents significant limitations." "Open Kitchens offers examples of how, thanks to creativity, inspiration, and the use of new materials, different rooms can be interpreted into a single space, thereby enriching the design of the house and improving the quality of life for those who live there."--BOOK JACKET.
