This thesis analyses the concept of sustainability as applied and reflected in industrial design practice in a theoretical way. The discourses on sustainability in general are explored in terms of ecology, economics and politics. The underlying motives resulting in unsustainable ways of production and consumption practices are attempted to be located in contemporary society.

Material Processuality: Alternative Grounds for Design Research Tönük Kruıthof, Damla (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01) This article opens discussion on the positivist epistemology underlying the understandings of materials in design research that have been brought along as a result of theory and methods inherited from engineering and psychology. Examining the ambitions of work that seeks to operationalize knowledge created by these methods in the design process, we propose that attending to the processuality of material forms is a more adequate way for design research to capture the multiplicity of materials. We develop thi...
Designer's responsibility : a critical approach to the concept of user in design through the concept of other İnce, Gökçe; Korkut, Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2005) This thesis aims to elaborate the concept of responsibilty in design towards user in a critical manner. It investigates the perspectives of the professional design organizations through their design definitions and ethical guidelines, and analyzes the approaches to the issue of responsibility towards user in the design literature. The study sekks to understand the concept of user -the subject and object of design- through the concept of "other" borrowed from philosophy, and offers a different conceptualizat...
Experience Reflection Modelling (ERM): a reflective medium encouraging dialogue between users and design students Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) Experience reflection modelling (ERM) as a design research method emerges out of participatory and generative research approaches. It includes tools and techniques that are put together strategically to enable the involvement of people in the early stages of the design process, connecting students and people by creating an effective medium for the knowledge transfer. In design education, ERM focuses on bridging the gap between the early stages of the design process and idea generation by providing students ...
Designing for Multisensorial Interactive Product Experiences Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-09-04) This paper presents a methodology and case study of designing for multi sensorial interactive product experiences, within the context of postgraduate degree level Industrial Design education. Building on literature spanning product and interaction semantics, and multimodal product experiences, the paper establishes a stepped approach to integrate up to six different sensory modalities (sight, touch, presence, sound, smell, taste) into a user-product interaction scenario. A product design project (bedside al...
Transformation of architectural space with the aid of artistic production Özden, Başak; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2011) The goal of this thesis is to study the transformation of architectural space with the aid of artistic production. By questioning architectural production as a non-static process open to alteration and intervention, this condition is claimed to enlarge the frontiers of architecture in terms of interdisciplinary contributions and new design methods. Inspired by the course ARCH 524, conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşen Savaş in the METU Department of Architecture, this study aims to understand the possible way...
