This study examines the ways in which the concept of 'national design' informs evaluation of products and their designers, through the example of the field of industrial design in Turkey and the recently influential design magazine Art+Decor. For this purpose, first of all, 'evaluation' is analyzed as a means in which meanings are imposed on products, and as a tool in struggles for positions and status within the field of industrial design. Then, the role of 'nationality' in such a function of evaluation is investigated. Finally, a case study is provided, in which the employment of the concept of 'Turkish design' in evaluation of products and designers is analyzed within the texts published in Art+Decor magazine between 2003 and 2005.

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...
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...
Comparison of Semantic Intent and Realization in Product Design: A Study on High-End Furniture Impressions
Khalaj, Javad; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (2014-12-01)
This paper presents a comparative analysis of designers' intended impressions and users' realized impressions of products, within the context of design communication. Its originality comes from the empirical approach taken, which examines the extent of users' shared impressions from products and their closeness to originating designers' intentions. Visual stimuli and semantic differential evaluations involving high-end furniture (n = 8) and representative target users (n = 80) were used. Data analysis was c...
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.
Evolving Paths: Undergraduate Design Education through Graduate and Generative Research with a Particular Focus on Sustainability
Doğan, Çağla; Turhan, Senem (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
Design considerations that take into account the diverse issues of sustainability have become a central source of inspiration for third-year design students in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. These considerations include the development of products that can evolve in line with local needs, product maintenance, repair and upgrade, and the effective use of resources and have been integrated into various design projects relating to diverse product sectors (e.g. small ho...
