Article User-Centered Approaches in Conventional and Autonomous Truck Design and Future Effects on Environmental Design(2022-04-30) Dilaver, Nimet; Küçükerman, Önder; Hasırcı, DenizMeeting the world’s increasing need for transportation today soon requires the development of autonomous vehicle systems. User-centered approaches in industrial design are crucial to advance technological, mechanical, and equipment specifications and provide effective driving experiences. This study analyzes conventional and new generation autonomous vehicles through user-centered design (UCD) and drivers’ experiences. Turkish company BMC and the new truck series “Tuğra” are selected. Participants are truck drivers, designers, engineers, and specialists. Observations and face-to-face interviews investigated comfort, usefulness, usability, desirability, accessibility, credibility, findability, and value from the elements of user experience design within the truck, as well as users’ awareness of UCD. Credibility and usability were among the highest-ranked principles. The participants provided valuable information for the design development of trucks, and ideas for future problems and solutions. Further multidisciplinary research that focuses on technical, as well as social and ethical issues is essential in this new and emerging area.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Contradicting Parochial Realms in Neighborhood Parks: How the Park Attributes Shape Women’s Park Use(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2023-06-01) Kaştaş Uzun, İpek; Şenol, F.; Kaştaş-Uzun, İpekNeighborhood parks are significant green public spaces located in close social and geographical proximity to homes to maintain individual and public health. However, some people do not use the nearest parks, but those with other socio-spatial attributes that make them feel more “familiar”. This study argues that with their facilities, amenities and design, and the surrounding land uses, neighborhood parks do not only accommodate, but also define, regulate, and originate social relations among users. Thus, the design and planning of urban public spaces play a role in the emergence and maintenance of supportive and conflictual relations that lead to familiarity. The study answers two research questions: How do the park attributes shape and mediate the interpersonal relations among the park users? How do gender differences influence the parochial realms in parks? Data was collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with 33 female users of two neighborhood parks in a populous district of Izmir (Turkey). Results state that women’s park visits were related to their gendered roles and responsibilities. Yet their responses point to challenges emerging from physical and social attributes of parks and park surroundings which lead to negotiations to protect their individual or group’s privacy (parochial realm) in neighborhood parks. Mainly, perceived threats to women’s parochial realm are men unaccompanied by child(ren), and exposure to the male gaze. The study highlights the importance of investigating these attributes of neighborhood parks for developing research and public policies to improve women’s presence and perceived safety in public settings. © 2023, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

Mekanların bu çok yönlü cinsiyetlenme potansiyeli, erkek egemen sistemin, erkeği kamusal, kadını da özel alanlarla ilişkilendirdiği küresel ikiliklerle kaçınılmaz olarak başetmek zorunda olsa da; mekanların bu ikili cinsiyetlenme biçimi farklı kültürel coğrafyalardaki yaşanmışlıklar yoluyla ters yüz edilebilir. Türk mahalle hamamı, tarihsel olarak kendi çevresel donanımını düzenleyen kamusal normların, kadın kullanıcıların özelleşmiş mekansal pratikleri yoluyla ters yüz edildiği, cinsiyetlenmiş bir mekandır. Bu çalışma hamamın erkek egemen kurulumlarına, alternatif eleştirel bir yaklaşımla bakmakta ve hamamdaki kadınlar bölümüne, homososyal bir mekan olarak odaklanmaktadır. İlk bölümde, hamamın cinsiyetlere göre bölünmesinin günlük mekansal pratiklere yansıması sorgulanırken, ilerleyen bölümlerde, kadın araştırmacı, etnograf ve gezgin yazılarının derinlemesine okunması ve yorumlanmasına bağlı olarak kadınlar hamamında ortaya çıkan çeşitli cinsiyetlenme biçimlerinin üçlü bir analizi yapılmaktadır. Sonuçta, kadınlığın kültürel mekanı, dişiliğin temsili mekanı ve kadın otonomisi, güçlenmesi ve iradesine ait bir feminotopya başlıklarında yapılan bu analizler ışığında, kadınlar hamamındaki homososyalleşmenin, Osmanlı- Türk toplumundaki heterojen cinsiyetlenme biçimlerinden türeyen özgün bir, homojen sosyalleşme biçimi olduğu üzerinde durulmaktadır.Article Arkeolojik Çevre Bağlamında Yeni Yapı Tasarımı(2018) Pasi̇n, Burkay; Varinlioğlu, GüzdenKültürel miras çok katmanlı yapısı sebebiyle arkeologlar için olduğu denli arkeolojik sit alanlarında tasarım yapan mimarlar içinde karmaşık ve zorlayıcı bir bağlamsal veridir. Bu makalede öncelikle bağlam kavramının mimarlık disiplininde nasıl anlaşılıpyorumlandığı ve 1970’lerden itibaren mimarlık kuramcıları tarafından izlenen farklı bağlamsalcı yaklaşımlar irdelenmiştir. İkinciolarak arkeolojik çevre bağlamında mimarlık üretimi yaparken izlenebilecek tasarım yaklaşımları ve stratejileri üzerine odakla-nılmıştır. Son olarak da, bir arkeolojik sit alanında yeni bir yapı tasarımının proje olarak verildiği bir mimari tasarım stüdyosundaalan çalışması uygulanmış, seçilen örnek projelerde öğrencilerin benzer ve farklı bağlamsal yaklaşımları karşılaştırmalı olarakanaliz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmadan yola çıkarak, hem bu farklı yaklaşım ve stratejilerin mimari tasarım sürecinde nasıl kullanıldığınıaraştırmak hem de bu süreçte öznel verilerle nesnel sonuçlara da ulaşılabileceğini göstermek amaçlanmıştır.Article Enriching Learning Experience Through Multidisciplinary Design Education: Structure Proposal for a Landscape Design Course(2020-07-01) Kaştaş Uzun, İpek; Uzun, Ipek KastasDesign related fields are quite intricate and it is hard to define strict boundaries in between thesedisciplines which cause the necessity of collaboration. Especially during professional careers, designerswork in multidisciplinary environments where they need to develop responses collaboratively. However,undergraduate design education is being criticized for missing to fulfill this need. The aim of this paperis to discuss the role and benefits of multidisciplinary design education with the example of the coursenamed “An Introduction to Contemporary Architectural Landscaping”. As the methodology of thepaper, through deconstruction of the 3 parted course structure and analysis of student works, this paperanalyses the role of a multidisciplinary education on students’ learning experiences. First two parts ofthe course focus on technical aspects of landscape architecture discipline, and cultural, physiologicaland psychological effects of landscape projects for users. Last part of the course focus on creating aplatform for students to work in collaboration with other students to gain practical experience in designfield where they develop a landscape architecture project on sites from their near environments. Thereare three main findings of the study. Firstly, inclusion of students from different disciplines in the samecourse increases the success rate via cross-learning experiences. Secondly, during design education,having the chance of participation to courses from different disciplines help to broaden students’perspectives on problem solving during design phase. Finally, projects in environments that studentsexperience in their everyday life increase their success rates. Results of the study that is based on theoutcomes of the course that is conducted with the students of two different design departments indicatethat this course structure and projects that are designed can be a guide for other design courses to developa multidisciplinary course structure to include students from different disciplines, enrich their learningexperiences and success after graduation.Article Designing a Concept Store: an Interdisciplinary Design Process(2021-07-07) Rolla, Silvia; Hasırcı, Deniz; Anal, Yucel Selin; Edes, ZeynepThe aim of this study is to introduce a design method for interior architectureeducation that would lead the students through the stages of the development oftheir projects. The design process is structured into five stages: conceptdevelopment; spatial development; technical drawings and physical model;detailing and three-dimensional representation; finalization. The second goal is toadopt an interdisciplinary approach to stimulate creative thinking. Therefore, inthis project interior architecture was related to several aspects of retailing andbranding during the design process of a concept store. The proposed method hasencouraged the formation of conceptual ideas in response to a defined designproblem. By integrating interior architectural problems with retailing concepts,students have learned to analyze, research, devise design ideas, and transfer ideasinto spatial compositions. This led to creative design solutions and diverse designapproaches. The organization of the semester into stages has guided the studentsto approach the design problem gradually and to explore design solutions parallelto their conceptual ideas. By the end of the semester, the students were able tocomprehend their progress along the design stages and to benefit from theinterdisciplinary approach. Findings may be beneficial for students, designeducators and designers interested in design process, interdisciplinarity processes,and designing retailing concept stores. The developed method may be used toprovide students with structured design process skillsArticle Kent Mekânını Görme Biçimleri: Görme Engelli Kent Katılımcılarının Çektiği Fotoğraflar ile Kentin Keşfi(2021-07-30) Kılıç, Didem KanBeden, görür, duyar, koklar, hisseder ve tat alır.

The emphasis of the paper is on interior design education, particularly the second-year studio where the interior design process is learned. The adaptive reuse project building was in Çeşme, Turkey and designed as a museum for a chosen artist. The method involved understanding the design process as a whole, beginning from a larger scale that includes landscape, leading to the detailing scale. While the first semester emphasized abstract issues, the second semester focused on materialization of ideas into applicable decisions. The project process was divided into four stages within each semester. The resulting projects drawings and models represented advanced levels of knowledge regarding the stages and process of interior design, its components, as well as an understanding of larger and smaller scales inherently connected to the profession.Article Effects of Retail Lighting on Product Color Perception and User Satisfaction(Anadolu Univ, 2022-12-21) Dilgen, Ozge; Hasirci, DenizLight source color properties in retail applications are among the most important factors affecting the user satisfaction in shopping places. A lighting design with a low color rendering value and an unsuitable color temperature can create a difference in the color perception of the product which may affect customers purchase decision or cause dissatisfaction resulting in the return of the product. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of lighting on product color perception and customer's feedback on the color difference. In order to fulfill this aim, the color differences of the chosen products are examined in three different key areas of a chain clothing store in Izmir, Turkey and compared with the color under daylight. Moreover, the user feedback is taken via a questionnaire to discuss the relationship between color display and user satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The collected data shows that although people do not realize the color differences inside the store, if they experience it after their purchase it may result in the return of the product. As a result of the study, it is suggested that retail store designers and lighting engineers should collaborate to ensure that the consumer perceives what the product designer intended as accurately as possible.Article Citation - WoS: 3Biophilic Interior Design: a Case Study on the Relation Between Water Elements and Well-Being of the Users in an Educational Building(Anadolu Univ, 2021-12-27) Nevzati, Fiona; Demirbas, O. Osman; Hasirci, DenizThe concept of biophilia is an innate human tendency to seek connection with nature. Biophilic design is the integration of the built environment and nature, which offers an opportunity to design healthier places, resulting in lower stress and improved well-being. Water elements are considered one of the most effective biophilic design elements for the betterment of the interiors through decreased stress and improved mood. This paper examines the relationships between well-being and principles of biophilic design through indoor water elements, with specific focus on educational environments. A case study was conducted examining the effects of various indoor water elements for an entrance area of an educational building. It was found that occupants were generally content with the presence of interior water elements, and they perceived that direct access to nature made them feel more connected with it. There is a statistically significant difference between the responses of males and females, t = -2.041, p = 0.045 (p<0.05), while females perceived lowered stress when in the presence of interior water elements, males were more neutral. The research study concludes with a discussion on the means by which interior water elements can reduce stress and increase relaxation.
