<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span lang="TR">“It was inevitable:”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span lang="TR">Reads the opening of Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s much
acclaimed book, Love in The Time of Cholera. “It was inevitable: the scent of
bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”<span style> </span>And it is inevitable: every news item on
wars, revolts and disasters reminds us of the fate of people suffering. It is
inevitable for designers not to ponder the place of design in a world in
turmoil.<span style> </span>Turmoil, as a state of great
disturbance, confusion, or uncertainty may apply to subjects as well as
cultures, societies, and marginalized identities.<span style> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span lang="TR"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span lang="TR">What are the potentials and shortcomings of design when people face
constant fear, danger, death, hunger and sickness; when they strive to continue
their lives in search of new normalcies in unsettling, unhomely and unfriendly
environments? Is it possible to talk about an emancipatory position for design
under these circumstances?<span style> </span>What can be
the designer’s capacity and role in anxiety-ridden contexts embedded in
uncertainty?<span style> </span>How does design respond to
turmoil in various scales and define, reinforce, or exacerbate such conditions?
Can design resist, preempt, or avert turmoil?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span lang="TR">This year’s symposium adresses such questions under specific conditions
of displacement, replacement and emplacement. <span style> </span>These are highly charged terms, loaded with
multiple meanings, some of which are cited below to indicate the span of possible
approaches for symposium presentations.<span style>
</span>Papers are welcome to focus on one of the thematic categories or their intersections
at various levels in the context of different design fields including spaces,
buildings, industrial products, graphics, clothing and others.<span style> </span></span></p>
