This thesis proposes to scrutinize the project of extending cognition in the field of design by providing the exploration of alternative procedures of formalization. It aims at investigating the possible extensions of design cognition with a theoretical framework based on the concept of Extended Cognition, traced within two different contexts: One is the phenomenological context, which aims at a sensual and cognitive extension in the design studies of the 20th century searching for a counter-cultural expression; the other is the naturalized context of Extended Cognition, now reconceptualized within the field and paradigm of the cognitive and computational sciences, away from its phenomenological antecedents. The thesis aims at bringing current cognitive and computer science advancements into the design theory by reconsidering the notion of Extended Cognition within a fully naturalized context, and to this aim, explores a methodology to consider and apply the underlying principles of Computer Vision and Generative Deep Learning methods. An interdisciplinary project is developed for testing the approach discussed in the thesis, in which a 3-D point cloud model of a physical structure is produced by LiDAR scanner. Various experiments are carried out with this data, where the datasets created are processed by a Deep Generative Model to produce new 3-D models that are embodied in alternative formal representations such as point clouds, mesh models, and bounding boxes. The generated models are then used as a design vocabulary to produce alternative combinatorial formations that reflect the extensions of design cognition.

Integration of Generative Research and Sustainability into the Product Design and Development Process
Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla (null; 2012-07-05)
To explore the relationships between the generative research and design for sustainability at the idea generation phase of the design process, a design research method that emerges from generative research approach “Experience Reflection Modeling” (ERM) has been developed and integrated into a design for sustainability project within the context of design education in the Department of Industrial Design at the Middle East Technical University (METU). The ERM method brings together 3D modelling, interview an...
Design as a Collaborative Process A Systematic and Constructive Model for Developing Play Material for Blind Visually Impaired Preschool Children
Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z. (2002-05-14)
This paper discusses a design process lived through, during the application of a model derived from design methodology and devised towards attaining a particular task. The task was: Designing a play system to contribute to the pre-school blind child’s development of object permanence, sense of self, and spatial concepts. The model employed was based on a systematic and constructive framework towards ensuring consciously made decisions. The paper also discusses the field-testing in play situations of the sys...

Experience reflection modelling as a generative research method in an educational case for sustainable product design
Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla (2014-01-01)
A generative research method, namely Experience Reflection Modelling (ERM), has been developed aimed at helping students explore and reflect upon design considerations for sustainability in the idea generation phase of a design process. ERM has been integrated into a product design for sustainability project as part of the design education in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. This paper begins by providing an overview of the generative research approach, explaining its...
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...
