Saskia Sassen, design is a narrative 

TASARIM BIR SOYLEMDIR

                   Design is a bridge: between the virtual and the material, the

                   human body and clothing (fashion), public space and the

                   individual (urban design). The designer, for his or her part, is

                   often called upon to play a destabilising role, one of change �

                   economic, political, cultural � with regards to existing forms,

                   meanings and iconographies. It is what is commonly defined as

                   fashion or trend.

TASARIM

TASARIM bir köprü gibi sanal olasýlýk ve gerçek malzemeler, beden ile giysi modas?, çevre ile kent planlamas? aras?nda islevsel ba?lant?y? çözümlemeyi amaçlar. Tasar?mc? ise, kendi giri?imiyle yeniden düzen sa?lama do?rultusunda, ekenomik, politik, kültürel de?i?imlerin biçimleri, anlamlar? ve ikonopgrafisini üstlenir.

                       Bir anlamda modan?n ve ak?mlar?n öncülü?ünü yapar.

What should not be forgotten is the capacity of design to effect

                   changes at a deeper and structural level. Think about the parts of

                   our contemporary cities that are often abandoned, the �vague

                   terrain�. Architects would like to redesign them with productivity in

                   mind. What if instead these abandoned parts of the city were

                   important for other reasons which are not apparent at first sight?

                   Vagueness can also have a positive side, for example preserving

someone�s memories to avoid restricting space in the mind. This

                   is an opportunity for a designer to elevate the complexity of this

                   space without destroying the individual.

Unutulmamal?d?rki, tasar?m?n gücüyle de?i?imler derinden ve yap?sal yönlendirmeye u?rarlar. Ça?da? kentlerimizin bak?ms?z ve terkedilmi? bölgelerini göz önüne getirirsek niçin "silik ve belirsiz" kalm??l?klar?n? belki anlayabiliriz. Mimarlar, bu yöreleri ekonomi ve gelecekte daha iyi bir ya?ama yönelik ele al?rlar. Önceden kavranamasa da  kentin geli?memi? taraflar?n?n gizil olanaklar?n? incelerler. Bu geli?memi?il?in çözüm için ele al?nmas? ise bellek de?erlendirmeleriyle olumlu bir ya?amsall?k kazan?r. Tasar?mc? için çevre düzensizli?inin incelenmesi ve bunu yaparken yerel dokunun bozulmamas? olas?l??? da art? bir amaç olabilecektir.

                   If we then think about the products of our everyday lives, we can

                   consider them as an accumulation of challenges and opportunities

                   for the designer. In these there is a chance to make people feel

                   less victims. How? Initiating a series of micro-interventions that

                   can however do a great deal to improve people�s conditions. For

                   example in a country such as Africa it could be possible to design

                   a house to help combat malaria, simply by avoiding the

                   accumulation of water and keeping mosquitoes at bay.

Yeterli, teknolojik uygulamalar tasar?mc?n?n sorunlar?n çözümüne do?ru art? olas?l?klar sa?larken, geli?memi? yörelerde kilit noktalarda iyi dü?ünülmü? çözümlerin de devreye girmesiyle etkili ba?ar?lar beklenebilir... Örne?in Afrika'da malarya salg?n? bölgelerinda, hastal??a çözüm getiren yeni ev tipleri in?aat? batakl?klar? ve sivrisineklerinin egemenli?ini ayn? zamanda kontrol alt?na alabilece?inden daha ba?ar? elde edilebilmektedir.

                    The true role of the designer is not visible to all at first glance but

it is very important. And what is more one should add that all of

                   us � including designers � are informal political subjects. A

                   famous example is that of the Argentinean madres in the piazza

at Maggio � they are first and foremost mothers but their political

                   role is undeniable. At a tangible level, there is a need to establish

                   a connection between the capacity and potential of a designer and

                   the opportunities offered by the European Union. With minimal

                   intervention one can create a narrative with a domino effect which

                   promotes a virtuous circle. And often this doesn�t need a great

                   deal of money. 

ba?ar Tasar?mc?n?n gerçek i?levi hemen ön plana ç?kmasa da çok önemlidir. Mimarlar ve tasarmc?lar, tümüyle politik ve sosyal kimlik ta??maktad?rlar. tasar?m?n gizil i?levsel gücü, bilhassa az geli?mi? bölgelerde sa?lanabilecek kilit eylemler sayesinde gerçek olumlu avantajlar? gündeme getirecektir
