The dissemination of discourse, processes, events, exhibitions, installations, websites, documentaries or other expressions that delve into the conceptualization of design are the basis for the development of the experimental field, of research and innovation, which is also within gastronomy , as the Tapas exhibition that has been chosen as a finalist treasures it.
The creative activity of kitchens is increasingly related to aesthetics and design, as we mentioned in previous magazine articles such as the Big Food grrrreat market, the Barcelona Design Week or the Valencia Disseny Week.
