Question

Kitchen should be placed opposite to the direction of the prevailing wind.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Planning Layout of Residential buildings topic in section Planning of Building and Colony of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

The best I can explain: Kitchen should be placed opposite to the direction of the prevailing wind so that smoke may not enter into the other rooms of these building. It is better to have kitchen in a separate wing or block or disconnected with a lobby and windows and chimney for smoke to escape.
