kitchen

IKEA´s kitchen of the future: the Swedish company received a report by the Future Laboratory on what this kitchen would look like. from the press-release: "in thirty years time, the kitchen will be so technologically advanced that it will almost be alive, responding actively to our needs like only a mther could."
I remember various studies and projects over time: Allison & Peter Smithson´s House of the Future, the Dutch House of the Future, etc.: all were never realised for the major part. Especially when it concerns a basic function like preparing and cooking our daily food I believe in handling that food, thinking on what you want to eat, how you want to prepare, how you want to serve breakfast and dinner. Of course; some tasks and functions can/will be automated; but reading of a kitchen that suggest a bloody mary when I have a hangover is far beyond my acceptance.
