“For thousands of years, the kitchen hearth was the center of the household; it was the place where everyone sat, thought, and planned, and where the woman of the house was more than just a cook. Certainly, we should not wallow in false romanticism and dream of a return of the ‘cozy hearth.’ But the modern kitchen — with all its technological fittings, its rationally conceived interior design, and all of the advantages of our scientific age — can also be the heart of a dwelling, giving nourishment not just to the body but to the soul and spirit.”1

Dwelling is more popular than ever. Whether in exhibits, scholarly studies, trend-conscious lifestyle magazines, or easily consumable coffee-table books, the complex factors informing humanity’s c- dition in its lived environment have become the object of diverse and increasingly intense investigations. The new book series Living Concepts intervenes at the juncture of aseptic coffee-table book and academic publication. Selected topics from the field of dwelling are presented with concision and scholarly rigor and in an appealing format. Along with supplying an informative foundation for a given thematic, Living Concepts int- duces current trends, scrutinizes received notions, and hopes to provide impetus for future developments – and all of this once or twice yearly in both German and English. Living Concepts is published by the ETH Wohnforum, an interdisciplinary research group housed in the Faculty of Archit- ture of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. By investigating the interplay and tensions between humans, society, and built space, the group mediates between theory and practice. With Living Concepts, the ETH Wohnforum aims to set a course informed by cultural studies, to document insights provided by the social sciences, and to provide a platform for a critical coming-- terms with the side effects of modernity. It is no accident that this first volume is dedicated to the kitchen.

Das Buch erschließt den Lesern die Küche als zentralen Wohnraum des häuslichen Lebens. Die Autorinnen und Autoren untersuchen die Küche – nachdem sie seit den 90er Jahren als modisch-repräsentatives Designobjekt ins Zentrum rückte – in Bezug auf ihre architektonischen, kulturellen, sozialen sowie ökonomischen Bedeutungen. Vorgestellt werden wichtige Entwicklungstendenzen und wegweisende Küchenkonzepte der letzten Jahrzehnte (Frankfurter Küche, Normküchen, Wohnküchen), planerische Grundlagen, aktuellste Trends, die sich wandelnden Bedürfnisse heutiger Benutzer an den Küchenraum (Patchworkfamilien, Singlehaushalte) sowie kulinarische Aspekte. Kurz: Ein Buch, das in keiner Küche des 21. Jahrhunderts fehlen sollte! Unsere neue Buchreihe Edition Wohnen stellt ausgewählte Themen aus dem weiten Feld des Wohnens kurz und übersichtlich vor. Sie richtet sich sowohl an allgemein kulturinteressierte Leserinnen und Leser als auch an Fachleute. Die Reihe wird herausgegeben vom ETH Wohnforum Zürich.

... In fact, modern architecture proposals marked and determined the appearance of these spaces throughout the 20th century. These proposals were based on publications and studies conducted at the end of the 19th century in the United States, which reached the environments of European modern architecture at the beginning of the 20th century (Clarisse, 2004;Eleb, 1995;Giedion, 1969;Lupton, 1992;Spechtenhauser, 2006). The ideas of Catherine Beecher 1 and Christine Frederick 2 were considered as the origin of the organization and efficiency of these spaces in a society, such as that of America, where no domestic service occurred. ...

... Dies emanzipierte nicht nur die private Küche, sondern auch die Gastronomie von der Abhängigkeit der Jahreszeiten und dem damit verbundenen Lebensmittelangebot, das den Speiseplan beherrschte. Wurde die komplexe Technologie des Einfrierens von Lebensmitteln zuvor im Dienst der Militärwirtschaft eingesetzt, fanden Tiefkühlprodukte nun über kommunale Gefrieranlagen und wachsende Tiefkühlketten ihren Weg in die neuen Geräte der Haushalte (Spechtenhauser 2006). "Jetzt ermöglichten der Kühlschrank und die Gefriertruhe beispielsweise denjenigen, die im Herbst selbst schlachteten, das Fleisch einzufrieren. ...
