Design for Collective Consciousness in Urban Place
Journal Title: Online Journal of Art and Design - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Today, the cities are showing a rapid change by the facts of globalization, capitalism and rapid urbanization, and the resources of cities are decreasing through increasing population and unplanned development. While urban place is continuously physically changing on one hand, on the other hand the preservation and sustainability of local values, culture and identity is increasingly becoming difficult. The changes encountered are bringing the relation of urban place and culture forward. Besides the urban management and local administrations regarding generation of policies in urban place, NGOs and initiatives –whose numbers are rapidly increasing in recent years- may also be mentioned. While culture policies are highlighting the area as a marketing material by emphasizing the originality that the cultural structure provides to the urban place, they also emphasize preservation of cultural material assets and local values and maintenance of urban culture with a preservationist approach. In the article, an infographic workshop of Give Sound of Your City Interdisciplinary Production Platform -which is one of the design initiatives operating at urban place in Istanbul- organized on Kadikoy is being examined, and the citizens are determining their opinions over five infographics –generated at workshop- addressing issues on the urban place and culture of Kadikoy.
