Between the dates of May 14 - 23, Istanbul Bilgi University’s Graduate Program in Visual Communication Design - VCDMFA, will continue to organize the second phase of the international workshop:

Discovering Istanbul from A to Z

Collaborating with the Institute for Information Design Japan - IIDj, graduate level students, academicians and professionals coming from Austria, France, Germany and Turkey participate in the second workshop.

During the workshops, participants will have the opportunity not only to become familiar with DesignFactors –a structured method for assisting the modeling of design developments and decisions of all kinds, but also to improve design skills and professional experiences in a unique travel-guide project: Istanbul A-Z. A compilation of uniquely personal views on Istanbul, involving more than 70 contributors. The content will be published in four different channels - a book, a web/online presence, a documentary film, and an interactive exhibition event.
