Colours, materials and finishes (CMF) is a vital component of many branches of design. Practicing designers and researchers primarily use digital representation tools to explore the material aspects of a new design proposal (e.g. a façade, an interior, a product). Although some still prefer to use physical material samples to convey CMF properties (e.g. colour, texture, reflectance) in as tangible and realistic way possible. it is an expensive and demanding process. A validated digital alternative would be a welcome addition for designers and researchers. In the current research, two different interior CMF representation methods, one physical and one digitally simulated, were evaluated for discrepancies based on data from three semantic scales (‘warm’, ‘energetic’, ‘intimate’). In study 1, 30 participants assessed a red fabric-covered physical model, representing a corner of an ordinary room. In study 2, 30 different participants assessed the same red fabric, projected as a .JPG scan onto the white corner walls of a full-size room. Both methods achieved similar results on the ‘warm’ and ‘intimate’ scales, but differed on the ‘energetic' scale. The work justifies further investigation of digitally simulated CMF as a potentially credible representation method for experimental design studies, so long as precautions are observed.

Use of color in residential buildings : a case study on facades of apartment blocks in Ankara
Yurt, Pelin; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2010)
Color is a significant architectural element, which is open to become a major representative element in the process of design. This study aims to understand the limits of using color as an architectural element and discuss the transformative effects of the use of color with respect to meaning and design levels of buildings. The study is composed of two main parts. In the first part limits of using color as a complementary and consequential part of design are discussed. The architectural understanding of col...
Realization of neutral state green polymeric materials
Durmuş, Asuman; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2009)
Polymeric electrochromic materials that has as one of the three complementary colors (red, green, and blue) in the neutral form and become transparent via oxidation (or reduction), has a crucial importance towards use of these materials in electrochromic devices and displays. To reflect red or blue color in neutral state, the materials have to absorb at only one dominant wavelength. On the contrary, to have a green color, there should exist at least two simultaneous absorption bands in the red and blue regi...
Preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ conception of auxiliary elements of triangles
Uygun, Tuğba(2017-10-01)
In the literature, there have been research examining different grade levels of students’ understanding of geometric shapes such as triangles and their main elements as well as their auxiliary elements. The purpose of the current study is to investigate preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ (PMSMT) conception of auxiliary elements of triangles. In order to achieve this, the activity sheets about definitions, constructions, and properties of auxiliary elements of triangles were designed and conducte...
Systematic Component-Oriented development with Axiomatic Design
toğay, Cengiz; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Tanik, John Urcun (2008-11-01)
A form of design guidance is offered through a process that applies Axiomatic Design Theory to Component-Orientation. Axiomatic Design has been proposed by Do and Suh for object-oriented software development. Our approach leverages divide-and-conquer and find-integrate techniques that support service-based development as an alternative to developing code from scratch. Using this process, missing or conflicting components can be identified, and missing components can be defined. The effectiveness of our prop...
Integrating Light to Foundation Course as a Basic Design Element
Özgen Koçyıldırım, Dalsu (2015-10-15)
Basic Design, the rst year foundation course of METU’s Industrial Design Department, leads students gradually from two-dimensional to three-dimensional abstract compositions. As the assignments gain volume, students experiment with the play of light and shadow that is essential for volume perception and crucial for the professional development of prospective industrial designers. Through the years of teaching Basic Design, authors observed that, students have tendency to accept light as a default and uncont...
