Despite all the dependent parameters inherent, Design is independent 
act because of its willful nature. Design is a series of 
destructive-constructive set of actions. For any design, the concepts, 
functions and forms inherited in the already available information in 
the first place are distructed primarily in the mind, and reconstructed 
into other structures. Here at this point, the individual designer’ s 
having a professional mental library is not enough for this combined 
action. Especially when the concepts are refered, the designer 
establishes a world in which the design s/he produced is included. In 
this sense, in fact, every object is part of the utopia in which it 
belongs to, and the designer is the figurative founder of this utopia. 
Therefore, at least they should be aware of the current ideal life 
theories.
The 9th emu_InternationalDesignWeek focuses on the theme 
‘IN/DEPENDENCE’ in search of a stimulating milieu that encourages the 
motivation to produce ideas and products along the 
DEPENDENCE-INDEPENDENCE axis in a multidimensional and dynamic process 
of creative thinking. Academicians and practitioners from different 
disciplines of design are invited to come together between 8-10th of 
May, 2019 and share their experiences and knowledge at the Faculty of 
Architecture, EMU, Famagusta, Cyprus.
