Tutor
“Dictionary Istanbul” workshop is the fourth in the series of iaps-cs network culture and space gatherings” and one of the seven design workshops under the concept of “Istanbul as an infinite articulation place”. A temporary project. The transience is for both the process, the productions, and the concepts that can be articulated infinitely, thus, allowing infinite change and transformation.
Workshop, searches for alternative ways of creating a new dictionary with contemporary practices. “Dictionary Istanbul” is not a typical dictionary; it tries to define the concepts about Istanbul, through “ infinite articulation” of Istanbul. Workshop; “dictionary Istanbul ”, asks the question, who is this dictionary for?”.The workshop pursues defining, interpreting and transferring the concepts outside the text.
At the end of the workshop process, creating two types of prototypes are outcomes for a dictionary that can be articulated infinitely by the combination of all productions. Prototype 1 is “open dictionary”. It is created by arranging pots* about subjects side by side without a specific hierarchy. It is concurrent. Prototype 2 is “Alternative dictionary”. It can be printed or digital, created in a specific order prioritizing the process and the order of the final products of the workshop. The order of concepts does not require a certain hierarchy.
