The Rathlin Test Kitchen
The test kitchen project was born in QUB's vertical studio Staging Symbiosis, led by Dr Nuala Flood and Dr Sean Cullen. The university runs 'vertical studios' in which second and third year undergraduate students are integrated in a number of studios.
Staging Symbiosis was and is building on research work on Rathlin Island, off the coast of Northern Ireland. Challenging students to investigate how innovatively and widely seaweed could be incorporated in design work the studio encourages a research orientated design process. Students were asked to consider a radical approach to develop a new future for the island.

A closer look.
Taking a culinary approach Oileán identified a number of processes in food production across the island and developed a menu to strengthen these industries. Developing the menu through research of the island's flora & fauna and drawing on innovative restaurants from around the world Oileán then designed another series of processes involved in producing the dishes which could be provided in the 'test kitchen'.
