The Run Run Run restaurant, or new 'Clean Eating' cafe of the 'La Musa Group', has been conceived as an 'urban technogranja' by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation.

Exuberant, radical and baroque, its author the architect Andrés Jaque has designed it thinking that it is "an ally to encourage humans to use the city differently, an infrastructure that allows the street to become a playground and a place to that people transform their bodies."
Away from the look traditional of cafe and immersed in new aesthetics "real food" or "clean eating", the restaurant-cafe RunRunRun, located next to the sports complexes of the Madrid neighborhood of Vallehermoso, the Andrés Jaque's design is presented as an facility halfway between an urban greenhouse, the changing room of a modern center for runners or a kitchen with patio.

The "urban technogranja" is surrounded by a hanging garden where some of the ingredients of its menus are grown. The kitchen is open and arranged in its center where customers can eat at the same table where the chefs work.
 

Project description by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation

Run Run Run is an ally in encouraging humans to use the city differently, an infrastructure that turns the city into a playground and a place for people to transform their bodies. It supports emancipation from domestic spaces and provides opportunities for interhuman gathering through activities that usually promote individuality.

Its architecture is an urban techno-farm: a big house stuck inside a modern building; an assemblage of greenhouse and grotto, both protecting a hanging vegetable garden. A large portion of the ingredients cooked in Run Run Run’s kitchen come from this garden.

Organized around an open kitchen, the design intends to offer an alternative to the modern separation between zones to work and zones to eat. The project takes to its limits the possibility of overlapping activities. It hybridizes showers with lockers, the kitchen, the vegetable garden, and the dining room in a ecosystem-like interior.
