The tendency towards computer aid in design presentations differs in academia than in the practicing field; practice seems to welcome computer aid in presentation, whereas in academia there seems to be a dilemma. In this study, we approach this duality based on our teaching experience within an interior architecture curriculum. First, we unfold the problematic to identify the contributing factors, then we observe the tendencies through a questionnaire with design students and interviews with design instructors, and finally we project upon our findings. We claim that the contributing factors to the problematic are: loss of author identity, problems of authenticity, and proficiency of the instructors in computers. Also we claim that although the transitional period of accommodating computer tools in design education in terms of presentation seems to be over, an adjustment period is starting anew. One of the powerful aspects of this period is not allowing hand skills to fade away.

User evaluation of HCI concepts for defining product form Şener Pedgley, Bahar (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) A complaint amongst industrial designers is that the human-computer interaction (HCI) of computer-aided design (CAD) systems does not fit their needs for defining product form. This paper disseminates research to identify and address the shortfalls. A strengths and weaknesses analysis of three modelling media (foam, CAD, FreeForm((R))) is reported and used to influence the design of 11 novel HCI concepts for form creation. Expert users are found to prefer 'virtual workshop' and 'intelligent environment' con...
A semantic discontinuity detection (SDD) method for comparing designers' product expressions with users' product impressions Khalaj, Javad; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (Elsevier BV, 2019-05-01) Designers exert substantial effort to define an intended user experience (UX) for a product, service or system. However, discontinuities can arise when the actual UX of users differs from the design intent. This paper presents a `Semantic Discontinuity Detection' (SDD) method capable of locating discontinuities between (i) realized product semantics, based on users' initial visual impression of a product, and (ii) intended product semantics, based on the originating designer's visual product expression. The...
An evaluation of haptic feedback modelling during industrial design practice Evans, M; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; WALLACE, D; CHESHIRE, David (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) Whilst new technologies in designing and rapid prototyping offer demonstrable benefits, their use can remove the potential for the designer to actively engage in the definition of form through tactile interaction with a physical material (as when working with foam or clay). This paper investigates the use of a haptic feedback device to facilitate interaction with virtual geometry and provide the designer with tactile cues during product modelling. The study concludes that limitations in the modelling capabi...
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 ...
Changing role(s) of the profession of architecture: building information modeling in practice Özkoç, Onur; Gür, Berin Fatma; Department of Architecture (2015) This research is an inquiry on the roles undertaken by architects in the complex process of designing and realizing buildings. It focuses on the changing AEC context in Turkey and interprets these changes from the scope of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which claims the instrumentalization of a new mode of production of buildings. Reading BIM as a reflection of the increasing demands of AEC context on the architects’ modes of operation, the thesis evaluates how the changing mode of production of build...
