Change in Industrial Designers' Jobs: The Case of Turkey, 1984-2018 Kaygan, Pınar; Ougur, Isil (Informa UK Limited, 2020-08-01) This paper examines the change in the forms of employment of industrial designers between 1984 and 2018 in Turkey. The empirical data come from the graduates of the four oldest industrial design departments in the country. Utilizing multiple sources, we collected longitudinal data on forms of employment and duration of jobs for a total of 1205 individuals. Drawing on this data, we present a descriptive analysis of the changing job patterns in in-house employment, self-employment, freelance work, academic jo...
Making Materials: The Case of Elaborating Qualities of Bioplastics Tönük Kruıthof, Damla (MIT Press - Journals, 2016-09-01) This article focuses on materials by taking an alternative route into considering their relationships to products. I draw on approaches from social sciences, especially studies influenced by science and technology studies, and conceptualise materials (and products) as made in their social and technical environment, and their properties as enacted in different environments of which they become a part, such as production and branding. Building on this framework, I focus on the production process in which mate...
The Cost of 'Free' in Freelance Industrial Design Work: The Case of Turkey Kaygan, Pınar (Informa UK Limited, 2017-07-01) Recent studies have paid considerable attention to the precarious conditions of creative work following the expansion of creative and cultural industries. These studies have investigated the notions of freedom, autonomy and self-management in relation to contractual form of employment, and demonstrated how aspirations to and expectations of such notions within these industries lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction, for young professionals in particular. Although these notions are also shared within the...
Material Semiotics of Form Giving: The Case of the Electric Turkish Coffee Pot Kaygan, Harun (MIT Press - Journals, 2016-03-01) The article discusses material semiotics as a valuable framework for the analysis of design processes, and focuses on form giving practices. For this purpose, the design processes of electric Turkish coffee pots are studied through interviews and document analyses. It is argued that neither form giving nor product form can be considered to be singular or stable throughout a design process, and that semantic and material relations that are built and maintained around the product form need to be traced for a ...
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...
