The first Istanbul Design Week, or IDW, starts Wednesday and will run through Oct. 3. The design week focuses on urbanization problems and Istanbul’s future in design.
During the urban development of Istanbul, IDW will focus on the role of design in connection to Istanbul’s status as the place where East meets West.The IDW will host designers and design exhibitions from around the world on the Old Galata Bridge. With the participation of 25 countries, design-based events at the IDW will be followed throughout Europe and the world.
The design week will also focus on cultural differences and design. Today, what differentiates each product and services is urban development and the design notion that provides interaction among cultures.
IDW 2010 aims to bring a new breath to design vision by connecting Istanbul, the new design center, to Europe and other world cities. Istanbul’s youthful energy, dynamic urban identity, culture that encourages creativity and variety in daily life will be the keywords to reflect Turkish design vision. This event aims to become one of Europe’s most important urban projects.
An outdoor exhibition during the design week draws a magical portrait of Istanbul with all the colors of sunrise and sunset with Nergiz Arifoğlu Lightstyle Lighting Design Office’ s special creation for the event.
When visitors attending the IDW head toward the Old Galata Bridge, they will be welcomed by the magical colors of the day from the historical walls of Istanbul.
