摘要
This paper discusses kitchen design, both in terms of the kitchen itself and with respect to the changing needs of the person/people living with and using the kitchen as their life course progresses and needs change. This paper is based on recent work, funded by the ESRC, involving interviews with 48 people over the age of 60 years, discussing their memories of kitchens through their lives as well as any issues with the current kitchen as they get older. This work highlighted the circular nature of some aspects of kitchen design historically and contemporaneously. These are presented here and suggestions made for possible future design considerations for sustainable kitchens.
