Discovering Istanbul from A to Z

This Spring, Istanbul Bilgi University’s Graduate Program in Visual Communication Design - VCDMFA, organizes a two-phase workshop:

"Discovering Istanbul from A to Z" March 05 - 14, May 14 - 23

Collaborating with the Institute for Information Design Japan - IIDj, graduate level students, academicians and professionals coming from Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Turkey, and the United States participate in the first phase of these international workshops.

During the workshops, participants will have the opportunity not only to become familiar with ‘DesignFactors’ –a structured method for assisting the modeling of design developments and decisions of all kinds, but also to improve design skills and professional experiences in a unique travel-guide project: Istanbul A-Z. A compilation of uniquely personal views on Istanbul, involving more than 70 contributors. The content will be published in four different channels - a book, a web/online presence, a documentary film, and an interactive exhibition event.
