Material Semiotics of Form Giving: The Case of the Electric Turkish Coffee Pot
Kaygan, Harun (MIT Press - Journals, 2016-03-01)
The article discusses material semiotics as a valuable framework for the analysis of design processes, and focuses on form giving practices. For this purpose, the design processes of electric Turkish coffee pots are studied through interviews and document analyses. It is argued that neither form giving nor product form can be considered to be singular or stable throughout a design process, and that semantic and material relations that are built and maintained around the product form need to be traced for a ...

Ottoman Foundations of Turkish Typography: A Field Theory Approach
Ozkal, Ozlem (MIT Press - Journals, 2018-06-01)
This paper examines the formation of the field of typography in the Ottoman Empire from within a field-based perspective.

Through explicatory historical evidence, it demonstrates that the field of typography was in the process of formation in the late Ottoman period.
