Authors: N.Tokarev, A.Leonovich

Architecture is certainly a type of media. But due to the fact that it has to be shelter for man, it is increasingly giving way to other media, which informational flow is richer, change of the information is faster and thus architecture becomes on the periphery of culture, and loses relevance. One area, where the architecture can maintain its position as a specific communication tool is an area of relations with the human body. Only architecture enables spatial and tactile experiences.
The «Infromatzah» takes this idea and offers edible architecture. Food absorption is an ancient way of getting information, children are using it. Eating is an act of appropriation of knowledge. Interaction with the architecture becomes more complete when taste includes.
