The Turkish Design Foundation
Through Design Workshop studies, The Design Foundation grants theoretical and experimental references within the disciplines of design, arts, crafts, architecture and governance. Design Workshops; is a human-centered project aiming for designs which will embody experientiality, conceptuality and contextuality, integrating with values habituated by its place. Design Workshops do not perform object-oriented studies; the values and the contexts of the object are articulated; rather than producing goods, it aims for creating product, service, experience, inspiration, culture and value-added employment.
The Theme of the Workshop
Placed in the beautiful landscape surrounding the port of Bodrum, this workshop was designed with emphasis on creating a collaborative atmosphere to help foster a community of interest for wearable computing and digitally mediated Interaction. The mantra for the workshop was: You’ve spent a lifetime designing yourself; this is the workshop for imagining how wearable computing will let us enhance that identity, allow us to explore alternatives, and try on new ones!
