Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 28How To Learn To Be Creative in Design: Architecture Students' Perceptions of Design, Design Process, Design Learning, and Their Transformations Throughout Their Education(Elsevier, 2021) Taneri, Batuhan; Doğan, FehmiThe study explores students? perceptions of experiential learning, design and design process, and design education, and whether these perceptions vary according to school year students are in based on qualitative and quantitative data collected from two architectural schools. We inquire into how creativity and design could be learned through repeated design tasks without structured instructions about the creative design process. The explorative study employs surveys and semistructured focus group interviews. The results indicate problem-solving view of design is the most common characterization, students think design is not a straightforward problem solving and is most related to art and creativity. Finally, students report school has a limited impact on how they learn designing. We conclude experiential learning in the studio create shortcomings if not accompanied with a critical and reflective stance and that undertaking design tasks one after the other without explicit reflection on these tasks is an inefficient strategy in learning about the creative design process.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Nonvisual Aspects of Spatial Knowledge: Wayfinding Behavior of Blind Persons in Lisbon(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Kan-Kılıç, Didem; Doğan, Fehmi; Duarte, EmiliaBlind individuals' wayfinding performance in complex urban environments is a complex phenomenon. This study investigates the wayfinding strategies of congenitally blind individuals in an urban context. The aim of the study was to assess the extent to which the environmental auditory cues are of primary importance for their wayfinding strategies. The study was conducted in Lisbon, Portugal. Results suggest that auditory information was the most used environmental cue and that a feeling of enclosure is the most important environmental feature during wayfinding. These results corroborate previous findings suggesting that increased familiarity with the environment results in more efficient wayfinding strategies, and that lack of environmental auditory cues could be compensated by a robust cognitive map. The study highlights multidimensional sensory experiences of urban environments and nonvisual aspects of spatial perception.
