Dear Researchers,
Since winter 2019, the whole world is living in a time where the keyword is social distancing. In this new world, physical and social boundaries have become more important either implemented by authorities or by people themselves. Countries have closed their borders and started choosing who is allowed to pass through. Regions, cities, companies, communities, families are building up boundaries to protect themselves and their loved ones from the risks of a barely visible danger. But also, the world has witnessed that this difficult time can be handled as an opportunity to restructure the lines of demarcation between different parts of the world thanks to digital technologies.
Based on this situation, as Yaşar University Faculty of Architecture, we organize a [Virtual] Design Fest with the theme of “Breaking Boundaries” between 19-21 April 2021 which aims to provide the future designers and their educators with a scholarly environment to start discussing the “world after” and to explore the ways of breaking boundaries between individuals, between individuals and nature, between real and virtual to design new solutions for our daily problems.
The program of the online Festival includes seminars, panels, workshop, and competition events. Among our guests are the distinguished professors Robert Mull (the University of Brighton, School of Architecture and Design), Kathryn Anthony (University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, The Illinois School of Architecture), and Suzie Attiwill (RMIT University, School of Architecture and Urban Design), as well as the designers Kerem Piker (Kerem Piker Architecture, Istanbul) and Seyhan Özdemir Sarper (Autoban Design Studio). The Design Fest will be open to the participation of all design disciplines, especially the Architecture/Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Departments of all universities.
We kindly invite you to the related events, and your students to participate in them. You can find the detailed program of the Design Fest attached.
