Morphological exploration of the Turkish tea glass for engaging design solutions

2020-08-11
This paper discusses the pedagogical approach followed for an educational project focusing on engaging design solutions for tea glass sets in the Turkish context. The project aimed at incorporating local values, usage patterns and rituals to enhance user experience and user-product interaction, reinforce product value, meaning and longevity, and develop more engaging and sustainable solutions. The project was conducted in collaboration with a major glass manufacturing company and involved 28 junior year industrial design students. Eighty preliminary and final design solutions for tea glass sets were analysed. The approaches that students adopted for addressing engaging practices and sustainability were gathered under tea drinking practices, tea serving practices, and marketing of the tea glass sets. The strategies followed by the students to differentiate their designs included analogies and historic precedents, body proportions, contour lines, differing inner and outer walls, axial asymmetry, visual and tactile patterns, and atypical typologies.

Creative Design Exploration By Parametric Generative Systems In Architecture
Gürsel Dino, İpek (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2012-01-01)
This paper discusses parametric design systems as a generative tool in architectural design. Parametric tools are algorithmically based, and therefore offer increased computational control over design geometry during design activity. Their adaptability and responsiveness to changing design criteria and requirements make parametric models especially useful for design exploration in complex and dynamic design settings. In performance based design, parametric control of form is particularly valuable, such that...
Comparison of Two Alternative Silicon-On-Glass Microfabrication Processes for MEMS Inertial Sensors
Torunbalci, M. M.; Tatar, E.; Alper, S. E.; Akın, Tayfun (2011-09-07)
This paper presents experimental comparison of a modified silicon-on-glass (M-SOG) process to a previously-reported classical SOG (C-SOG) process based on the use of SOI wafers, yielding a stress free < 111 > silicon structural layer with desired structure thickness. The basic difference between these processes is the sequence of the step at which the silicon microstructures are defined by DRIE, making M-SOG more robust against critical dimension (CD) variations. Overall, M-SOG provides a simple, high yield...

This paper presents the results of the Circular Design Project, European project funded by Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance within the social business and the educational innovation field. The project have three major learning objectives: to increase and improve the learning strategies of Design for Sustainability; To gather and cluster open educational resources in Innovative Design for Sustainability; To train up innovative and entrepreneurial designers in Design for Sustainability. This was achieved through a...
Socially oriented design practices in Turkey: a critical analysis of participation and collaboration
Gürdere Akdur, Selin; Kaygan, Harun; Department of Industrial Design (2019)
This study provides a detailed examination of socially oriented design (SOD) practices of the last decade in Turkey. Referring to the lack of academic studies in the design literature focusing on SOD practices, I aimed at discovering the entire processes of these practices to construct a critical analysis. The study was conducted in two stages by applying a textual analysis approach. In the first stage, initially, 93 SOD practices were compiled and explored through their representations on Turkish design me...
The Redesign Studio: An Intensive Evidence-Based Approach for Ideating Product and UX/UI Improvements
Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2022-09-08)
This paper describes a six-week design studio that set out to make ‘redesign’ an educationally rewarding activity, whilst developing students’ skills in evidence-based designing. Final year industrial design undergraduates chose a personally owned household electrical or electronic product that they considered in need of improving or updating. The redesign studio guided students through five consecutive stages of briefings, activities, and critiques: (i) product anatomy analysis and part labelling, (ii) mar...
