As in many fields, it was the Ancient Greeks who laid the foundation for gastronomy as a science by creating the earliest collections of recipes and also by developing a gastronomic culture that later spread throughout the Mediterranean, becoming the basis for today’s Western cuisine.
Hunting and fishing, as well as agriculture and raising livestock, favoured the emergence of gastronomy, which later gave rise to various cuisines, such as Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Venetian and French, among others.
Later, factors such as improved transport and the rise of tourism allowed regional cuisines to be reconsidered and encouraged a return to natural and simple approaches, a fact that was the starting point for nouvelle cuisine, which joins tradition and simplicity with new advances and a passion for innovation and experimentation.
This new concept of cuisine has led the science of gastronomy to study diverse cultural components, with food as the central focus. Today, this exchange of culture and knowledge has become a fundamental part of gastronomy.
Important personages related to the world of gastronomy and who share an innovative vision of cuisine, such as Ferrán Adrià, Juan María Arzak, Rene Redzepi, Heston Bluementhal, Michel Bras or Andoni Luis Aduriz, among others, have sought to exchange knowledge in order to enhance their own approaches, and have relied on research and innovation to achieve new gastronomic experiences.
The objective of the current International Gastronomic Center competition for architecture students is the creation of a space for cultural exchange through gastronomy.
In this spirit, the International Gastronomic Center (IGC) will be a space for chefs from all around the world to exchange knowledge and share their experience in order to promote gastronomic research and for their own personal and professional enrichment.
Coming to the IGC will be an intense personal and professional experience for the chefs, because during their four-month stay they will have the opportunity to live in the centre itself and become part of a genuine idea factory that includes spaces dedicated to gastronomic training and research, as well as others promoting creativity, which will facilitate the free exchange of knowledge and encourage experimentation.
In addition, because another objective of the IGC is to provide a great deal of gastronomic activity to the city, it is essential to maintain good relations with it by providing spaces open to the public, courses and conferences and numerous activities that will completely integrate it into the city’s life.
The following prizes will be awarded to proposals that best meet the purpose of the competition:
