Abstract

On the streets of Istanbul, inhabitants generate situated solutions to their daily problems with the limited means they have ready at hand. Objects are repaired, adapted, or modified, and everyday life brings palliative articulations and situated solutions to seemingly complex problems. With the conviction that design, especially the field of product design, can benefit from paying closer attention to such production, we have developed a growing inventory of situated and transformed products and materials, focusing on the surrounding culture we have labeled as halletmek. Conducting this research from within the design field was crucial for us. This, we believe, is the way to incorporate these products into the discourse of design, and thus to position the sample of sixty-seven objects, out of the many we examined, as design products. Through this inventory, we discuss how to position and make visible these site-specific design/production practices and the culture from which such situated products emerge.

摘要

在伊斯坦布尔的街道上，居民用他们手头有限的手段为他们的日常问题寻找合适的解决方案。物体被修复、调整或修改，日常生活为看似复杂的问题带来了缓和的表达和定位的解决方案。我们坚信设计，尤其是产品设计领域，可以从密切关注此类生产中受益，因此我们开发了越来越多的定位和改造产品和材料库存，专注于我们标记为Halletmek的周围文化. 在设计领域内进行这项研究对我们来说至关重要。我们相信，这是将这些产品纳入设计话语的方式，从而将我们检查的众多对象中的 67 个样本定位为设计产品。通过这个清单，我们讨论了如何定位和使这些特定于站点的设计/生产实践以及此类产品出现的文化。
