This article presents multiple pedagogical methods employed for urban planning students’ first-year basic design studio course during the rapid shift to an online environment in response to Covid-19. The aim is to critically discuss the conventional and innovative tools and techniques in design teaching during the online education system in the 2020–2021 academic year at Middle East Technical University City and Regional Planning Department. To do this, the basic design and planning studio course preparation itineraries, student projects and reflections are analysed to unveil the process of creating a non-linear and open (online) studio course. Although the central question in this study is how to prepare for an online design course, which is traditionally a hands-on experience in an active face-to-face studio environment, the outcomes of this article are noteworthy to evaluate from a broader perspective of basic design education for urban planners. The pedagogical strategies for a non-linear and open studio present significant lessons learned for a similar future experience. For this, the study discusses the outcomes as integrating conventional and digital tools, collaboration with students in preparing the course content, a flexible course program, and a process-based design. The results suggest combining new and conventional pedagogical approaches to adapt not only to an online education system but also to a possible revision of the course programs of design studios.

Teaching Architectural Design Studio Remotely: The Introduction to Architectural Design Course at METU
Kömez Dağlıoğlu, Esin; Pinar, Ekin; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Yoncacı Arslan, Pelin; Baş Bütüner, Funda (2020-12-01)
This paper aims to briefly assess the potentials and limits of online learning environment for studio education by focusing on the case of 2019-20 spring semester studio of Introduction to Architectural Design course at Middle East Technical University’s Department of Architecture. As a transitory course between basic design principles and architectural design, Introduction to Architectural Design addresses the issues of site, program, structure, form, and material in reference to small sca...
Learning by doing in the age of design computation
Oezkar, Mine (2007-01-01)
A design teaching approach of integrating the notions of design thinking and computing in the first year of architectural design education is introduced and discussed. The approach aims to enhance and bring up-to-date the educational practice of "learning by doing" in the first year foundations curriculum. In the studied example, the analytical phases of thinking in a simple design task are systematically and visually recorded. This documentation is incorporated to the design process as a means for the stud...
Online studio in the industrial design education: the implications of kibis as the organizational communication and knowledge management system
Akar, Evren; Turhan, Senem; Özgen Koçyıldırım, Dalsu; Coskun, Aykut; Oraklibel, Renk Dimli (2012-02-11)
In order to explore the potentials of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning and Collaborative Design systems for industrial design education curriculum, the Department of Industrial Design at the Middle East Technical University has developed an online design studio called KIBIS. This paper will present the findings of a study in which KIBIS has been implemented within the context of a first year design studio project. In this process, questionnaires with students and semi-structured interviews with tut...
Transforming and prolonging design lifespans: design education cases for sustainability
Doğan, Çağla (2017-11-10)
This paper aims to present an approach focusing on design education for sustainability through providing two exemplary cases from third-year industrial design projects. The main themes explored in these projects involve personalization via design transformation, adaption and upgrading during design, use and post-use phases. The first project developed and facilitated at Carleton University, the School of Industrial Design mainly addresses the key theme of transformation of LED lighting from indoors to outdo...
The Redesign Studio: An Intensive Evidence-Based Approach for Ideating Product and UX/UI Improvements
Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2022-09-08)
This paper describes a six-week design studio that set out to make ‘redesign’ an educationally rewarding activity, whilst developing students’ skills in evidence-based designing. Final year industrial design undergraduates chose a personally owned household electrical or electronic product that they considered in need of improving or updating. The redesign studio guided students through five consecutive stages of briefings, activities, and critiques: (i) product anatomy analysis and part labelling, (ii) mar...
