Colour and design: from natural patterns to monochrome compositions
(Elsevier, 2011-03)There is no doubt that nature provides endless inspiration to the world of design. In order to explore the role of colour in design, forty-two people were asked to first choose a pattern from nature, then to abstract this ... -
Creativity in learning environments: the case of two sixth grade art-rooms
(John Wiley & Sons, 2003-03)The four elements of creativity - the person, process, product, and environment - that come together for the purpose of clearly and completely defining creativity, form the structure of the research. Two sixth grade art-rooms ... -
Effectiveness of tactile surface indicators in 'design for all' context
(Open House International Association, 2013-03)The aim of the study is to determine and prioritise the characteristics of the builtenvironment that increase the effectiveness of the walking surfaces for blind and vision-impaired people. Tactile walking surface indicators ... -
The effects of learning styles and gender on the academic performance of interior architecture students
(Elsevier, 2010-01)The study focuses on design education using ‘Index of Learning Style’ (ILS) and explores the effects of learning styles and gender on the performance scores of design students. The ILS is designed to assess preferences ... -
Focus on architectural design process through learning styles
(Pergamon Press, 2003-09)Learning as an interactive process is an important issue in architectural design education. This study aims to focus on architectural design process through learning styles that are 'accommodating', 'diverging', 'assimilating' ... -
Focus on the learning styles of freshman design students
(Elsevier, 2008-05)Using Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model, this study explores learning styles of freshman design students in three consecutive academic years. Principal Component Analysis method is used to reduce the number of variables ... -
A framework for the design studio in web‐based education
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2001-10)Design education should integrate design concepts and skills with practical and theoretical knowledge through collaborative learning. Computer‐mediated communication systems used in web‐based education systems are quite ... -
Generating design activities through sketches in multi-agent systems
(Elsevier, 2005-12)This study describes a multi-agent system that acts as a mediator between the designer and the information environment. The system enables designers to locate and retrieve information from distributed resources. There are ... -
Hidden dimensions of creativity elements in design process
(Routledge, 2009-05)The aim of the study was to determine the items that can be evaluated as the components of creativity in design process. Factor analysis was applied to determine how well the items corresponded with the explored creativity ... -
Housing for the aging population
(Springer, 2007-04)Based on the concept of 'aging in place,' design of houses in the past years are explored. Design features in the built environment become barriers for aging people with functional limitations. Initially, houses were ... -
Inclusive design: developing students' knowledge and attitude through empathic modelling
(Routledge, 2014-06-26)To enhance the function and quality of built environments, designers should consider all possible users in their design projects. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate inclusive design in the education of the design ... -
The influence of sustainable design features on indoor environmental quality satisfaction in Turkish dwellings
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The aim of this paper is to explore the influence of sustainable design features on occupants satisfaction levels with indoor environmental quality (IEQ) aspects in three types of dwellings. Satisfaction level was investigated ... -
An inquiry into the learning-style and knowledge-building preferences of interior architecture students
(Elsevier, 2016-05)This study explores the learning-style and knowledge-building preferences of interior architecture students using Felder-Soloman's Index of Learning Styles. Considering the learning and knowledge-building skills of students ... -
An insight on designers’ sketching activities in traditional versus digital media
(Pergamon Press, 2003-01)This study aims at gaining an insight on designers' cognitive processes while sketching in digital vs traditional media. Empirical data on design processes have been obtained from protocol analyses of six interior designers ... -
Integration of reasoning systems in architectural modeling activities
(Elsevier Science, 1998)In the first phase of a design process, the designer understands the problem and assimilates it to a conceptual framework that is already known to him. Due to the nature of design problems, the reasoning methods and ... -
Involving the elderly in the design process
(Taylor & Francis, 1998)Based on the concept of'aging in place', a prescriptive model is proposed, aiming at the creation of a usable, safe and attractive built environment where the elderly residents are actively involved in the design process ... -
A knowledge-based space planning system
(Taylor & Francis, 1992)Knowledge-based systems are potentially powerful tools for improving the results of automated or interactive design procedures. Expert Space Planner is a prototype of such a system that uses production rules in the spatial ... -
Learning styles of design students and the relationship of academic performance and gender in design education
(Elsevier, 2007-06)The study focuses on design education using Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) and explores the effects of learning styles and gender on the performance scores of freshman design students in three successive academic years. ...
