Abstract
Art is our connection and expression of culture, history, and innovation. Paintings and sculptures showcase these works in museums and galleries across the globe, but what about other art forms that have an impact on our daily lives, such as baking? Baking is an artisanal practice that requires technical skill, and an appealing design to draw people to buy their products. Similar to any form of art, technique, design, and mastery are all requirements for any good bake. Specifically in France, baking upholds these connections and expressions in everyday habits and familial traditions. So why are there no cultural centers, galleries, or museums articulating this component of history and culture? In this thesis we look at design to answer these questions, by creating a formula to show non-traditional art forms. French-baking is the beta-test to address which strategies are needed to create such a method. This thesis will use history, academic settings, circulation, as well as sustainable techniques to create a measurable design. In addition, look into ways that question and express the cultural significance of a subject: designing to showcase, preserve, increase awareness, and celebrate the medium.
