Eskişehir Osmangazi University (ESOGÜ), College of Art & Design is a governmental University of higher education, located in Eskişehir, Turkey. The final and third PiCoDe workshop took place in Eskişehir Osmangazi University, College of Art and Design (Turkey) with a group of students and teachers from Portugal, Poland, Turkey and USA, who worked on the design and prototype of a new product, primarily made from a local material called meerschaum.  

The last PiCoDe workshop had been organized by Bilge Kınam, Associate Professor at Visual Communication Design Department at Eskişehir Osmangazi University. As the hosting institution, ESOGÜ provided a large classroom and facility for the workshop activities, including materials and equipment to design, develop and make potential products for this workshop.

External collaborators were invited to give course about the culture of Eskişehir and technical information about the local material in the PiCoDe project. The first three days of the intensive program aimed to understand the history of Eskişehir with the leader from Eskişehir Tourism and Promotion Association’s Chair İrfan Ongar’s Eskişehir presentation and Meerschaum workshop lead by meerschaum artist Talat Ürersoy.

The intensive programme’s first three days aimed to understand the history of Eskişehir with the leader from Eskisehir Tourism and Promotion Association’s Chair İrfan Ongar’s stunning Eskişehir presentation, symbolic research visit tours at the Odunpazarı graveyard, the ancient civilization of King Midas; The Phrygian Valley and Han Underground city. The extraordinary landscape and serene atmosphere of Phrygian Valley spread over a region within the borders of Eskişehir, Kütahya, and Afyon provinces today, is home to historical ruins and ancient artifacts bearing traces of the Phrygian civilization.

The Picode team consisting of eight students developed two different design prototypes called Midas and Yaşam made some parts by meershaum stone.

Midas is a tattoo machine product, made by meerschaum stone. Midas aims to travel around the world to create artistic textures on human body. Its surface pattern was inspired by the Phrgian motifs and symbols.

The 3D modelling of the prototypes and development of sketching and preideafication boards and experiemental material displays were exhibited to public on 7th October 2022 at Atilla Özer Karikatürlü Gallery, Tepebaşı, Eskişehir.

Yaşam which means Life in Turkish, is a plant habitat made from recycled meerschaum. The product’s shape was inspired Phrygian hat and traditional Turkish tea glass. The products stand was inspired motif coming from Phyrgian antiquity.
