Design thinking is identified as a paradigm for dealing with problems in many professions, particularly in the field of Architecture. The design thinking process is fundamentally problem-solving to find the best solution. The complexity of design problems increases because different conditions have various and unique requirements. With technological development, designers have started to use design support tools to find the most proper solution to complex problems. Performative architecture is designed using digital technologies to challenge the design of the built environment. This study intends to explore and analyze the influence of performative design tools on the design thinking process. Observing and evaluating the designer’s activity is crucial while using performative design to understand the design thinking process. The study aims to review the research on design thinking and design methods and the evolution of performance-based design throughout history. It is further intended to assess the influence of performative design tools on design thinking abilities with a given design problem. The analysis will be conducted with participants by giving them a design task, and they will be required to use performance-based design tools. The study has two main steps, the first is the design task using performance-based design tools, and the second is the analysis of these design processes. It is intended to use a combined methodology of think-aloud protocol, interviews with the participants, and Linkography.

The position of three-dimensional modeling and visualization techniques in industrial design education COŞKUN, MERVE; Akiner, Dilem (2012-05-04) The purpose of this research is to determine the position of three-dimensional modeling and digital visualization within the scope of concept and product development process in the undergraduate education in Middle East Technical University Faculty of Architecture Department of Industrial Design, designate the problems that the students encounter during the integration of these methods to the design process, and finally question how these methods can be incorporated into design education in order to influen...
The Role of User Research in Design Process in Product Design Education Yavuz, Cemil; Yalman Yıldırım, Zeynep (2017-08-01) Building product usage scenario of products, building product-user relationship, thinking like users and empathizing with users are the most frequently encountered problems in project-based studio courses in current undergraduate education of Industrial Design and Industrial Product Design departments in Turkey.In this research, undergraduate second and third year programs of Industrial Design departments of 13 different universities in Turkey are examined. Learning outcomes, contents and objectives of the ...
The Role of Mathematics in the Design Process Under the Influence of Computational and Design Technologies Sorguç, Arzu (null; 2006-06-07) In the design process today, the use of computational and information technologies demands a new way of thinking: “algorithmic thinking“. The first generation of computera-aided design tools have been replaced by highly sophisticated design tools used not only in design but also in construction and product life. These revolutionary step consists in designing directly in 3-D instead of designing by sections and planes. But are computers and new technologies really employed in design process or simply as a ne...
Integrating 3D physical and digital modeling into 3D form creation in industrial design education Öztürk Şengül, Mehtap; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2016) Digital design media have entered in the design field in the course of the last couple of decades and have rapidly changed the way of practicing in design related professions. As part of this change, digital modeling has taken its place among the basic skills that an industrial designer is expected to have. As a cognitive activity, modeling plays very significant roles in the form creation related skill acquisition processes in design education. Therefore an urgent need for new approaches for the integratio...
The Performance-Based Interlinked Model (PBIM) In Architectural Design: Exchanging Environmental, Structural And Spatial Parameters In The Early Design Stage Yazıcı, Sevil (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2021-6-30) The paper aims to present a model that generates a framework for incorporating different types of performance issues into the conceptual design to improve the decision-making process of students by extracting only the critical parameters and demonstrate its applicability in the context of architectural education. The proposed Performance-based Interlinked Model (PBIM) seeks to address the question of whether design and performance parameters can be evaluated together in the early design stage, where concept...
