[CO]linary x LA
The Phil Freelon Design Competition 2020 / Shortlisted / Team Members: Ann Erskine, Vincent Lee, Nico Hsu
[CO]linary is a future culinary lab for exploration and inspiration, rooted in the idea that together we can co-create within a shared economy for a more collaborative, inclusive and sustainable way of life. [CO]linary sets out to explore new scenarios for production, respond to global challenges, and provide a backdrop for creative innovation within an ever-growing network of residencies, community members, specialists, educators, technologists, and cross-disciplinary forward-thinking partners.
As place to experiment, test, and co-create new modes of food production, storage, preparation and recipe development, [CO]linary’s
curiosity is leveraged by increased interconnectivity and technological breakthroughs. Addressing major macro-trends in housing shortages, rapid urbanization, and lack of natural resources, [CO]linary is a space to test new ideas, explore emerging potentials, and spark discussions within a non-commercial environment while enjoying amazing food.

[CO]linary x LA is the first pilot in a series of co-living culinary labs across the United States and globally, envisioning collaboration and talent sharing with associated labs such as [CO]linary x NYC, [CO]linary x SF, and [CO]linary x Tokyo to tackle complex national and world-wide macro-trends in housing and sustainability.
