the 'basque culinary center' is the head office for the gastronomic science university and research innovation center for
gastronomic science in donostia-san sebastián, spain by spanish firm vaumm arkitektura. the result of a collaborative venture
between mondragon university and the basque culinary center foundation, the structure will merge the functions of training,
research and knowledge sharing between educational institutions, technology centers, companies and public entities. sited within the
steep slope, the U-shaped footprint emerges from the hill to enclose an open air internal green space of stepped terraces.
the sloping terrain reveals a building volume reminiscent of stacked dinner plates set within the landscape.
five shifting bands bordering each storey conceal wrap-around verandas which allow panoramic views of the rugged scenery.
the roof plane is blanketed with aromatic and edible herbs.
