Türk Kültürü Bağlamında Türk Tasarım Kimliğinin Geleceği
The Future of Turkish Design Identity in the Context Of Turkish Culture

Summary/Abstract: Design is almost synonymous with creativity and it is a phenomenon which needs to dwell in the minds of individuals, communities, and eventually nations. It is a quest for survival and progress; seeking the better, the more ethical, the more reliable, the newer, the more efficient, the more beautiful and the more favourable. On the other hand, it is required that the products of design should adequately reflect features of Turkish identity while being sold in the international competitive environment. Since the earliest periods of time, Turkish clans had been nomads and raiders. While some raised farm animals, some worked in agriculture and they manufactured traditional products which distinguished them from other societies. Turks successfully synthesized their tradition and products with the cultures of the regions to which they immigrated, thus continuously went beyond themselves while protecting their identity. With globalization, even established cultures are confronted with deterioration. What is important is to grasp the essence of our own culture and combine it with contemporary lines and transfer the same to identity of Turkish design.
