FoodRail is our diploma project for the Architecture School of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Our team’s mission was to design a train that travels around the world, spreading the idea of slow food and gastronomic tourism. People would go on and off the train, as well as various cooking materials from each place. 

The basic structure consists of 13 wagons which host the stages of food cycle: cultivation, processing, storage, preparation, cooking, consumption, recycling. The way this system works is by permanent staff, as well as with participation from travellers who are interested to experience a part of the procedure. 

From time to time the train stops at specific areas in nature and opens its gates to throw an open-air festival with food, local product market and special events. 

 
FoodRail was awarded with the third place at the IsArch Awards, 2017, among participants from all over the world.

!FoodRail was a collaboration with Eleni Papantoniou.
