Abstract
Worldwide social, economic and political changes have
altered not only our lives but also art and design and its
meaning in society. It is time to revise our frame of
reference and criteria. The questions in this paper relate to
socio-cultural awareness: how and in what way can
designers meet with artists as to build a bridge between
different cultures? How and in what way does this meeting
and active collaboration of different perceptions and
approaches on identities and heritage consolidate the rich
cultural diversity of Europe?
Linked to the actual setting of the city of Istanbul as
cultural capital of Europe in 2010, questions relating to this
cultural context have been initiated by a group of art and
design students from Brussels (St Lukas), Eindhoven
(TU/e) and Istanbul (ITU), resulting in a short-term
exhibition in Istanbul as a showcase of their artistic and
design outcomes.
The present paper follows the track of 3 Eindhoven design
students. Within Ludvigsen’s framework of social
interaction [9], it presents and analyses motivational drives
and strategies of the reflective and transformative design
process and prototyping, as has been set out by Hummels
and Frens [3]. To conclude it takes a closer look at the
differences between the educational cultures of art and
design and what lessons can be learned in the future.
