This paper focuses on creating a lean environment for the end user of the building. There are many studies on lean thinking, yet there is a few about utilizing lean methods to optimize the space performance of the architectural design. Some architectural concepts and tools, which may be utilized to enhance the end user's experience, were developed during the history of architecture. The problem is that there is not a holistic ground to define their aims for providing valuable space. Since lean aims operational excellence and looking for possibilities for continuous improvement, it may offer a framework for the techniques of enhancing the end user's experience. The objective of this study is to demonstrate architectural concepts' parallelism with lean principles and what can be derived from lean principles in order to contribute to the end users’ experience. This paper is conducted from a conceptual perspective. The correlation between the fundamentals of lean thinking and the well-established architectural concepts is examined via narrowed literature research.

Architectural programming for achieving value-added design Akınç, Günseli; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2005) Values and concerns of project participants have influence on design quality as well as on the design process itself. These determine the functional, social and æsthetic characteristics of the project that are necessary to achieve client satisfaction. The issues of value and quality are compared within the context of architectural programming, including their theoretical and philosophical ground as well as current management techniques. Value and quality can be misunderstood and confused with each other; th...
Rethinking the architectural design process through its computable body of knowledge Ergun, Eser; Özkar, Mine; Department of Architecture (2008) This thesis assumes the architectural design process as a systematic study, in which knowledge is stored, organized and operated on by computational methods. From this perspective, the study explores the efforts for systemizing the architectural design process. Firstly, the focus is on the early approaches of systemizing design in the Design Methods Movement. The thesis identifies and evaluates the use of a number of critical concepts in this movement and in recent architecture practice, in order to see the...
Design Instructor’s Perspective on the Role of Computers in Architectural Education: A Case Study Çil, Ela; Pakdil, OYA (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007-6-01) This paper reports the findings of a case study aimed to explore the design instructors’ opinions on the role of computers in architectural education. A qualitative research, incorporating a survey and semi-structured interviews, have been conducted. The objective of the research is to explore and identify the instructors’ conceptualizations and evaluations of the relationship between design and computers in education. We aimed to understand whether there is a certain divide among the design faculty between...
Image manipulation: a post-orthographic design medium Özkan, Eyüp; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2019) This thesis initially aims to reveal representational processes considered as “natural” to architecture. Based on the fact that architecture is reliant on its image, these processes are revisited in their technical terms in order to be able to “denaturalize” architectural design process. Particularly, the consideration of drawing and its technical qualities as inherent to architecture disguises the limitations they impose on the architectural work. Also, the institutionalization of drawing in the educationa...
Analysis of Filmmaking Techniques for Architectural Animations Alvarado, Rodrigo Garcia (2008-1-1) Digital animation provides a new possibility to exhibit architectural projects, but it must address some features to properly show the building design. This paper exposes a review of diverse moving images presentation of architectural environments in order to identify principles to be considered when display building projects through digital animation. It studied scenes of twenty productions; eight famous movies from different ages, like examples of major filmmaking efforts; six documentaries of historical ...
