Israeli Local Design Research
- Israeli Local Design Reseach
- "A discussion of design in a cultural context must always begin with some knowledge of culture being discussed. In a case of Israeli culture this task seems especially complex & hazardous" (Ido Bruno)My interest in researching local design began at the second semester of the third year throughout my studies in Bezalel Academy, the task I took upon myself was to put on the test the quotation by sorting & analyzing the archaelogical culture of Israel and create case studies - objects that are able to communicate through the local cultural context.
