Advances in socio-technologies have contributed to a cultural shift towards active participation in society and eventually gave rise to a participatory culture. In the design context, the distinction between pseudo- and genuine participation comes into prominence. This paper traces the intersection and convergence of design participation and design computation in architecture. The starting point of this research is an inquiry into the thread of user participation in architectural design grounded in the design methods movement as an alliance between participation and computation. For the purpose of studying relationships between participatory design and computational design, this paper revisits the premises of the 1971 Design Participation Conference together with early examples of architectural participation projects from the 70s (Lewisham Houses of Walter Segal, and Supports of John Habraken) and the computational realizations of these early participatory models (John Frazer’s computational model of Segal Method, and MIT’s Open Source Building Alliance’s computational model of Supports). This exploration suggests that computational design thinking can be addressed to open and extend architectural design to a wider range of participants, upgrading the first participatory paradigm. The design of norm/objectile/genotype by the architect and that of form/object/phenotype by the user is studied to support this argument.

Towards more inclusive engagements: Mapping the experiential realities of inclusivity in architectural education
Demirel , Abdullah Eren; Erkılıç, Mualla; Department of Architecture (2022-7-28)
With the growing multi-layered and diverse structure of contemporary societies, the notion of inclusivity has become more influential and critical in shaping many fields, including the design of human environments. Based on the conceptual ground of equity, diversity and accessibility, the emphasis is on equal opportunity for diverse individuals to achieve their full potential in life. The complexity and plurality of related concepts and parameters in the studies of inclusivity - built environment relationsh...
Modelling an architectural design process
Şahinler, Kubilay; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2022-2-02)
Architecture is influenced by developing technologies as well as by political, social, and economic practices. In this context, the scope of architectural service also evolves. Accordingly, different studies are carried out on the execution of the design process with different methodologies. In the building design process, various models are proposed and discussed, in which the role of the architect is questioned. In this context, this research includes a series of model suggestions aimed at making the arch...
Sustainability as an Educational Concern: A Study on Industrial Design Curricula
Turhan, Senem (null; 2009-04-09)
With the emergence of sustainability, it became an important concern for curricula of industrial design education as for many other educational structures. Currently, lots of higher education institutions offer courses focusing on sustainability for various objectives. This study deals with the current situation of industrial design education in the world by means of sustainability as an educational concern. It starts with the examination of a variety of sustainable development definitions and continues wi...
New forms of discrimination and exclusion : adjofication of Romani communities in Turkey
Önder, Özhan; Beşpınar Akgüner, Fatma Umut; Department of Sociology (2013)
Romani communities having concrete frontiers with the rest of the society are strongly being transformed to the forms which are acceptable for the trends of these surrounding societies by late 20th century. Therefore the needs the dissertation is intended to cover, in accordance to such problems in the existing literature defined, are to explore and deepen questions about Romani communities from a scholar point of view which is critical not only to the low facilities the communities have but also to the ten...
Continuity and change in nationalist discourse in Albania during national awakening, communism and post-communism periods
Sulstarova, Enis; Akçalı, Pınar; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2002)
This thesis analyses the nationalist discourse in Albania during three periods of its modern history: National Awakening (1878-1912), Communism (1944-1990) and Post-Communism (1990-2002). The aim is, with the help of recent scientific literature on the subject of nationalism, to investigate the continuities and changes in nationalist discourse in Albania and the socio-political reasons behind them.
