Event: Architecture on a Plate - Winner at Archichef Night Zurich

March 2023 | Zurich, Switzerland, We are delighted to share that KODAI AND ASSOCIATES was named the winner of Archichef Night Zurich 2023. Organized by TOWANT and Suponer, this unconventional event brings together five architectural studios from across the city to translate their design philosophies into a single, representative culinary dish.

Designing the Sensory

At Archichef Night, the kitchen becomes a temporary studio. Each architect acts as a chef for the evening, preparing a course that embodies the salient features of their work. For us, this was an opportunity to explore the haptic and atmospheric qualities that define our practice—blending Japanese heritage with the precision of Swiss materiality.

Architecture and gastronomy share a fundamental goal: to create an experience that resonates through the senses and fosters a moment of connection. We are honored that our culinary "design" was chosen by the evening's guests as the winner, reflecting the shared language of craftsmanship and wonder that we strive to instill in every project.

Our sincere thanks to TOWANT and Suponer for hosting such an inspiring evening of cultural and creative exchange.
