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 conceptualization of responsibility towards user together with its ethical implications.

Ethics for industrial design : an ethico-political critique of sustaninability in industrial design Şişman, Osman; Kurtgözü, Aren Emre; Department of Industrial Design (2005) 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.
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...
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 ...
A Proposed information systems framework for effective delivery of user research findings Töre Yargın, Gülşen (2011-06-25) Integration of user research findings into product design process is a well-received issue. There is a tremendous research on how to conduct user research and methodologies for generating user data. However delivering that information effectively is as important as the quality of data generated through user research, since if it is not delivered effectively the impact that is demanded by the product developers would not be achieved. Therefore the requirements for the deliverables should be conceptualized be...
An Immersive Design Environment for Performance-Based Architectural Design: A BIM-based Approach Akin, Sahin; Ergun, Oguzcan; Sürer, Elif; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2018-01-01) Design communication is critical for the interaction between digital design models and human cognitive capacities in architectural design. Virtual environments, particularly mixed reality (MR) technologies, can improve spatial cognition, improve the space and effectiveness of space conflicts and support design collaboration [1]. The focus of this study is design processes that incorporate building performance simulations and visualize results to inform the designers of daylighting performance. We present an...
