Domus Academy will take part in Istanbul Otherwise, an initiative organized by the Turkish communication agency Proje Reklam on the occasion of Istanbul European Capital of Culture 2010. Besides Domus Academy, the event also involves Bauhaus Universitat – Weimar and Yildiz Technical University – Istanbul.
“İstanbul Otherwise” is a pedagogical design exhibition project prepared by PROJE A.Ş. and supported by the 2010 İstanbul European Capital of Culture Agency.” The project is based on the idea of “expressing İstanbul from a different perspective”.
“İstanbul Otherwise” rediscusses the seven objects, which have been influenced/created by the major cultures that have established themselves in the recollection of İstanbul, through the contemporary designs that seven internationally working Turkish designers have interpreted by setting out from the concept of “cultural sustainability”. Enhancement of awareness for the cultural entities of the past and the values these entities possess/represent, cultural sustainability, the potential to create sincere and functional differences in existential practices, the historical/social dimension and traditional identity of the object were the decisive factors in the approach of these designers.
The schools will host an exhibition showing seven typical traditional Turkish objects re-designed by seven renowed local designers.
