19-22 November, 2008
Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Architecture
http://www.designcinema2008.org

CALL FOR WORKS
Submission Deadline: June 30, 2008

THEME
Third International Design and Cinema Conference (Design Cinema 2008) will
be held on November 19-22, 2008 in Istanbul, Turkey. The meeting, themed
as design-en-scene, is organized with the intention that scholars and
practitioners will come together for interrogating the role and kinds of
designed environments and their production that expand our experiences. We
seek to bring to the front through this conference one of the ongoing
discussions, in terms of potentials originating from design-cinema
relations: representation and realization of the designed setting with
reference to theory, tools, and practices. The topics fall under three
categories:

Real
Designing of objects and environments
Experience of designed objects and environments
Hyper-real
Manipulation of the real
Blurring of the real
Virtual
Creation of a parallel universe
Implementation
Hybrid existences

CALL FOR WORKS

Cinema 2008 would like to bring practices, researches and creative outputs
together under the works exhibition and create a rich and provoking
