SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

This course tries to understand the cultural context of design from the 19th century to the present through the representation and interpretation problematics of the (post)modern world. In this direction, the course aims to establish a framework in order to examine the design object as a cultural product by presenting an index of cultural and historical elements. As a result, it is expected that students will have acquired a ground where they can associate culture and design. This ground will also equip the residents of the 21st century, known as the century of design, to better understand and interpret the world as a cultural 'artifact' that they see/imagine/experience.

Course Content:

This course will focus on understanding the complex relationship of design and consumption with culture. The relationship of design, which is a cultural and social practice, with consumption concepts that mediate the production of social identities and lifestyles will be discussed. The course will focus on making design products a part of consumption culture, not only functionally, but also as an indicator of taste and culture.
