Master Thesis A Study on Adaptable Kitchen Design in the Context of Standardization and Individualism(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) Talu, Nilüfer; Seçkin, YavuzThis study demonstrates the paradoxical cycle of modern life, which has simultaneously obliged to standardize the objects and individualize subjects. Under the impact of mechanistic look, conceptions of mobility and modularity emerge as affixed part of this paradoxical cycle.In the context of standardization and individualism, this study focuses on the birth of modern kitchen conceptions relating to the standardization of modern housing and the work process. Then the study addresses the transformation process of modern kitchen from stable architectural space into independent standardized mobile furniture. Thus, it gains great capacity by being in motion and possibility to separate itself from home and its context in order to encounter the sense of freedom, changeability and individuality. This study also focuses on modularized kitchen, which is standardized as much as it is divided into parts enriched by various sliding, rotating, folding and joining elements. So, the mobility has emerged as a conception that increased the possibilities of variations and changeability of modularized kitchen. Consequently, each moveable component has prepared the conditions of kitchen-in-motion that look for new directions towards transformable kitchen design.Master Thesis Polymers as Design Materials for Toy Industry(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1998) Ünver, Kemal Hakan; Seçkin, YavuzIn this thesis it is intended to investigate the superiority of plastics as a material for a specific product design. Plastics with their intrinsic capabilities, have too many improved characteristics to offer to individuals which makes any research very valuable.When making this research, the methods to be employed were not only limited with library researches but also contained bilateral relations with various producers of either the material or the toys. Under the light of these findings and experiences the formation of the most convenient material was selected for the product. The second point was to design a toy and/or a system for children which would help them get prepared for the coming years. It is found out that, for children toys are more meaningful when combined with their imagination. That is why it is intended to design for preschool children when their imagination is as pure as it can be.Finally it is concluded that with the debut of plastics materials in individuals lives, the characterization of forms, functions and ideas were highly and easily achieved.Master Thesis A Study on Street Furniture Design Criteria for Bus Stops(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2001) Kaya, Erol; Seçkin, YavuzPeople, in the effort to design the public spaces, began to constitute the elements that meet their simple demands in these spaces and so the first samples of street furniture began to form and increased in number.Street furniture are systems that consist of products such as street lamps signs, phone booths, seating, bus stops, which meet the user demands such as comfort, information, recreation and that are used commonly, located in urban spaces by institutions, and that help to form a healthy environment. In the beginning, they were produced one by one, but later mass production method began to be used according to the changing requirements. Today, the production and location of these industrialized elements carry importance with the design and location selection criteria.So, the aim of this thesis, is to study the general design criteria about street furniture, that have importance in urban space and in special to study the criteria of elements used in bus stops which have an important place in the city with their location, classification, dimension and form.As a result, design of a bus stop was realized in accordance with today's requirements and technologies and the design process and criteria were tried to be explained.Master Thesis An Analytical Survey on the Role of Packaging in Industrial Design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2000) Göktepe, Yankı; Seçkin, YavuzIn this,packaging design is studicd from the industrial designer's point of view.One of the main purpose of this thesis is to show importance that packaging has various aspects.and analytical researchis used to indicate this aspects.Chapter 1, will include; analyzing the packaging from point of consumer society and graphic aplications.Packaging will be shown as a communication tool and understanding for consumers and also their attitudes, beliefs, expectations and identity through their patterns.In chapter 2, material and production techniques are considered as a unavoidabled part of the total packaging.

In the means of strengthening its place among other disciplines, a concentration on .designerly. ways of knowing, thinking and acting should be provided. Therefore, in this study, the intersection between industrial product design field and engineering discipline is searched for revealing the engineering concepts and non-intuitive design methods within intuitive design methods used in industrial product design. Engineering design field is stated, since its being close to industrial product design, and a comparison is made between industrial product design and some engineering fields through their approach to design problems and the tools they use. Engineering design methods are stated and their advantages in design activity are revealed. This study is a part of design systems area, with formal approaches to models of design processes and knowledge. Finally, a case study of cell phones is carried out in order to prove the design approaches and the priorities of electronic and telecommunication engineering and industrial product design on a product.Master Thesis The Effect of Car Mass on (internal and External) Safety With a Case Study on Concept Family Car(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Mızıkacı, Sinan; Seçkin, YavuzTransportation means are always of importance to people due to their functions. Originally, a vehicle in terms of a means of transportation has been thought as only a device what takes people from one place to another point. But with considering both occupant being transported and vehicle means of transportation since their inextricable relations, vehicle has become significantly considerable within its design.Prodded by industrial revolution, especially after introducing the first mechanized mode of vehicle in 1769, the technological advantages have highly intensely been used in automotive, and also now. Primarily, within that advantages, even all efforts providing for retention of vehicle during a crash to protect occupants from the injury risk have been zeroed in on for only the one objective: to design vehicles with a high capability of safety. In this thesis, We consider that people in scale unit as family for vehicle design of the need. Environment for the family vehicle is thought a place encircling metropolis wherein the people as grouped lives out and wishing that it was so pleasant place, just a few miles away from the city, taking advantages of working at home. Moreover, we are in making a think of vehicle design for family that ought to contain the conventional signs more within global perceptiveness as small, but not compressed down since the generation becomes huger in size by years, and finally has enough space of interior regarding ergonomical and anatomical requirements. Under the definitions for creating the concept family vehicle within limits, the project aims to present most apropos model, and assumes to allow the person to drive and to move on it in safest position. In this paper, in the light of above, we will set out to clarify the safety features of vehicle structure for Family Vehicle, and with respect to that each connective parameter in the boundary of freedom will be clarified.Master Thesis The Role of Industrial Design in Passenger Boat Building: Concept Design of a Ferry for Marine Urban Transportation in Izmir Bay as a Case(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Baykal, Halis Haluk; Seçkin, YavuzThe city of İzmir is in a process of rapid growth and there is a great pressure of demand on the urban transportation. The shortage of mass transportation availabilities, together with the recent increases in the economic power of an average customer, has promoted private car ownership and this has resulted in the congestion of intercity traffic; increasing the burden on the existing road system. Since 1980.s, efforts to develop of sea urban transportation have been in the agenda of the city. Privatization of public sea transport network in the Bay, management of this network by the Municipality, hiring a private fleet for transportation by the municipality are some examples of the efforts mentioned. The main problem which the transportation managers meet is old and costly managing sea transportation fleet. To overcome of this problem, there is an intention for renewing the fleet by designing a ferry boat that meets the needs of zmir.s sea transportation system. In this study, a ferry which can navigate in zmir Bay environmental conditions and carry enough passengers has been designed by using industrial design criteria. The main steps of the concept design of the ferry have been listed below: (1) Examples from all over the World have been investigated. (2) Inquires carried on in 1996 and 2004 periods on the passengers demands have been considered to form design criteria. (3) Observations during the trips of current transportation system have been done. (4) Interviews with some experts from the transportation sector have been had. At the last section of the study, concept design of the ferry has been detailed. Main advantages of this design have been concluded as: (1) Safe (2) Cost effective (in building and in managing) (3) Comfortable (4) Light and green (less fuel consuming) (5) Fast (during embarkation and debarkation, during the trip) (6) Designed for disabled passenger.Master Thesis Mobile display design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Altınkaya, Nilüfer; Seçkin, YavuzThe purpose in the stand design is to introduce the product face-to-face. The success in introducing the product is directly related with the success of the stand. That.s why the aim of this thesis is to guide the designer to use the design criteria in a right way, with harmony, through out the design process to achieve a good way to express, to show, and to explain the product. The aim of this thesis is to provide an explanation for the design of fair stands. In the first chapter of the study, the concept of fair will be defined, and its commercial significance will be mentioned. In addition to this, the development of fairs within history will be explained, and the conditions before and after fairs both in Turkey and abroad will be evaluated in these chapters. You will also find how the fairs today have become an important means of improving trade, selling and promoting goods and maintaining commercial relationships in these chapters. In the second chapter, organization of fairs and types of fairs will be studied. In a few words, fair is a kind of exhibition. In the past, there was only one type of fair whereas many types of it can be observed these days; general fairs, specialized fairs, consumers. fairs, single-country fairs and single-firm fairs. Prior to the participation in a fair, it is essential that aims for participation should be established, and the fair that will best suit those aims should be chosen. Choosing an unsuitable fair is doomed to failure, and the aim will not be achieved in spite of a successful stand design. Therefore, different types of fairs will be discussed. In the third chapter, design criteria of the fairs will be discussed. These criteria are the advantages of participation in fairs, the factors that are relevant to the product which makes participation in a fair a success, the analysis of the product, the factors that are relevant to the visitor which makes participation in a fair a success, the analysis of the visitor, circulation and arrangement of stands, and attractiveness in stand design. Systems of displaying in the fairs having commercial aims, and criteria for the design of the elements that comprise these systems will be clarified. In the fourth chapter, the factors that determine the arrangement of the venue for the fair will be dealt with, and the significance of stand design will be emphasized. Types of stands will be mentioned, and different ways of arrangement of the stands will be discussed. Stand systems will be dealt with in two parts; stands that are designed in advance and stands that are designed specially. In this chapter, the factors that affect the arrangement of stands in fairs will be explained under six sub-titles; functional factors, constructional-structural factors, visual-perceptual factors, auditory factors and psychological factors. The process of designing the venue for the fair will be examined as having four different stages, which are the stages of planning, design, application and using, and demounting. Although these stages have a linear character in appearance, they are interconnected in the designing process as all of them relevant to each other. Thus, they cannot be definitely separated from each other. However, in order to ease the analysis, it is deemed appropriate to examine these processes under different headings within this thesis. Additive to these the duties of a fair stand designer will be explained. Finally, the thesis includes a case study; Vestel commercial goods stand in İzmir International Fair.Master Thesis Sustainability and Environmental Issues in Industrial Product Design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) Deniz, Deniz; Seçkin, YavuzThe main purpose of this thesis is to examine the every aspect of industrial design from the view point of the sustainability. In traditional terms, the concern of the designer has ended with the launch of the product, but the environment-conscious designer should think about its complete life. To develop products in a sustainable way, the designer must be able to assess which design solution is better from the environmental point of view. The basic aim of this study is to help designers to comprehend the features of .Sustainable Product Design.. In other words, this thesis aims, together with considering environmental issues, to determine the basic changes occuring in design process and to lead the designer in the light of these principles. One of the main purpose of chapter 2 is to examine the every aspects of industrial product design from the sustainable point of view. In chapter 3, the changing design process is analysed by considering many specific examples which help us to comprehend the .Sustainable Product Design Process.. In chapter 4, the main environmental issues (such as global warming, water pollution, waste and noise etc...) are analysed to indicate that how industrial products affect the environment. In this chapter, there are three main sectors which are specific from the environmental point of view are selected to examine, such as electrical & electronic products, packaging and furniture products. All sectors are completely considered in specific examples to understand the relationship between the environmental issues and product design. Finally, the thesis include a case study in accordance with sustainable design context and using appropriate materials. Keywords : Sustainability, sustainable design, product, environment, recycling.
