Gastronomy is without a doubt one of the largest economic activities in the world. We can find gastronomy anywhere we go, regardless of the geography, culture or race.
The cooking world has become more and more sophisticated and the new techniques sand styles have taken the culinary standards to a whole new level. With the appearance of new restaurants like the Bulli by Ferran Adria among others, a new concept of cooking has been born, where investigation and research have become key to understand the present and future of gastronomy.
The Paris Market Lab is a complex where kitchen is taken to a new level; not only in the way that dishes are prepared but also in the way the clients interact with it. The Market Lab acts as a restaurant and a cooking school at once, and it wants to be nothing less than one of the best in the world in both categories.
The world’s top chefs will be invited to lead one of the several cuisines of the complex over a limited period of time that might go from 2 to 12 months. During their stay these chefs will become mentors of a team of aspiring chefs, transmitting their knowledge to them, from the very basics of selecting raw materials out of the market to the smallest details of how every dish should be presented. During the day the Market Lab will work as a cooking school, becoming a five star restaurant during the night that will sever experimental recipes elaborated by the master chefs and their students.
The site is strategically located a few steps away from the Sain-Germain market at the heart of Paris, forcing the new design to integrate and dialogue with all the history and the urban planning that surrounds it.
