Transforming and prolonging design lifespans: design education cases for sustainability Doğan, Çağla (2017-11-10) This paper aims to present an approach focusing on design education for sustainability through providing two exemplary cases from third-year industrial design projects. The main themes explored in these projects involve personalization via design transformation, adaption and upgrading during design, use and post-use phases. The first project developed and facilitated at Carleton University, the School of Industrial Design mainly addresses the key theme of transformation of LED lighting from indoors to outdo...
Evolving Paths: Undergraduate Design Education through Graduate and Generative Research with a Particular Focus on Sustainability Doğan, Çağla; Turhan, Senem (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01) Design considerations that take into account the diverse issues of sustainability have become a central source of inspiration for third-year design students in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. These considerations include the development of products that can evolve in line with local needs, product maintenance, repair and upgrade, and the effective use of resources and have been integrated into various design projects relating to diverse product sectors (e.g. small ho...
Embracing Material Surface Imperfections in Product Design Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2018-12-01) Imperfection is not a usual aim within the context of industrialized product design. Under general norms, products are manufactured as clones of a 'perfect' original and product surfaces are prized for their 'perfect' flawless state. The mass production of products against these principles seems counterintuitive. Yet within the world of materials, and especially considering material surfaces, imperfection is widespread. This research set out to identify and scrutinize circumstances when material imperfectio...
Securing future of social housing: learning from an alternative regeneration/ gyldenrisparken in Denmark Bican, Nezih Burak; Cengizkan, Ali; Mortensen, Peder Duelund; Department of Architecture (2016) There has been a vast quantity of mass-housing production by the central housing authority in Turkey in the recent years. Operated in line with neo-liberal economy-policies since the beginning of 2000s, the public production has concentrated on speed of construction, quantity of dwelling units, and developing financial resource for ‘social housing’ provision by building luxury housing in profitable urban lands. However, this provision has faced criticism of various academic and non-academic circles, primari...
Connecting the dots: understanding professional development needs of Istanbul’s makers for circular economy Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta; Ramirez Galleguillos, Maria Laura; Bensason, Ivon; Yantaç, Asim Evren; Coşkun, Aykut (2021-06-14) With the dissemination and increased accessibility of makerspaces (e.g. fab labs, creative hubs, learning platforms), cities now present an opportunity for loosely managed, distributed fabrication opportunities to recapture embedded value in products and resources and re-distribute them for the benefit of the city. Istanbul Metropolitan City, with its rather large population and land, as well as 24 active makerspaces focusing on different industries and fabrication opportunities (e.g. education, entrepreneu...
