Once the Japanese poet Kobayashi Issa (小林 一茶) wrote: "In a world of grief and pain, flowers bloom – even then." - In the last years many of us may have lived a lot of grief, pain, and loneliness. However, we never gave up the hope and love for our students and their work. We belief that even out of this sad experience flowers will bloom again. Therefore, we are so proud to see many new ideas and approaches in design that our graduates created this year. We congratulate our new graduates for their successful completion of their studies in this difficult time and believe that they will make beneficial contributions to the society and future generations with their successful work in the light of the knowledge they have gained during their education. The world is clearly in transforming in many aspects and so is the living and working environments too. Based on these thoughts, this year's graduation project started with a movie script where digital three-dimensional images were developed, prepared in detail with their technical aspects, and presented in the form of a video walkthrough trailer at the end of the year. We believe that with this project, our students have experienced a future-oriented approach, in the process of design interaction, communication and expressing their ideas and dreams.
