In this thesis, origami is studied from the packaging design's point of view. One of the main objectives of this thesis is to show the usage of origami in packaging design. It is aimed to analyze the packaging preferences of consumers. It is evaluated how behaviors of consumers for multifunctional origamic packaging and it is measured what percentage of them would reuse those origamic packaging samples. In brief, this study particularly focuses on the incorporation of origami in industrial design for a less consumption-driven design practice. Accordingly, introduction presents the aim of this as well as identifying research method and tools. Then, consumption trends and material culture along with the history of consumption are examined. The interaction between play/game activity and consumption is explored. Packaging design is explained in detail. In this context, the relationship between packaging and consumption is analyzed. Following a detailed analysis of consumption on environment, green design is discussed as a form of solution to this problem. For the purposes of this thesis, environmentally friendly packaging design prove important, therefore, the concept is explored thoroughly. History, types and usage areas of origami are explained in the fourth chapter. Origami in daily life objects and packaging is sampled. Finally, the thesis includes a case study applied at Karşıyaka Universal Child Museum and Education Campus which measures how museum consumers would react to multifunctional origamic packaging. The origamic multifunctional package samples are viewed and questionnaire are analyzed. The results of statistical data are interpreted for each criterion.

(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Tarcan, Berilsu; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Many researchers have investigated and analysed specific craft traditions and their practice in Turkey. Traditional production techniques, craft and design of cultural objects and different handicrafts from Turkey have been important research subjects. However, definition of tradition, culture and craft have changed over time, and keeps changing. The influence of these elements on product design and how they shifted within time should be studied more extensively. This thesis explores one of the craft neighborhoods in Turkey and suggests new ways craft can be implemented into product design today. For this purpose, craft’s history and relation to design and technology is investigated. A part of the field study was conducted with students of industrial design at İstanbul Bilgi University, as a part of their 2nd year studio course; in which the students were paired with craftsmen in Kapalıçarşı area, one of the historic craft neighborhoods in İstanbul. A traditional craft from Turkey, silversmithing, is taken as an example and implemented into product design. Moreover, in-depth interviews were conducted with the silversmiths in the area, to question the situation of craft today, and outcomes were discussed in terms of how it can be related with product design.
Design Activism in Industrial Design: a Critical Analysis of the Main Scolary Discourse
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Çetin, Özgür Deniz; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Industrial design profession has developed continuingly throughout the twentieth century, cultivated, and became prevalent. Over the course of time, industrial design has also had some negative ramifications for people and the environment, caused by socio-economic and political developments such as industrialization and globalization. Nevertheless, industrial designers have not disregarded these developments, and their consequences, instead they have been searching to find some solutions to the negative outcomes within their own profession. This endeavour has created a concentrated thread of action, which can be defined as “design activism” as an aggregate term. The renowned examples of design activism discourse first appeared in the early 1970s. Passing through various phases, it has eventually become a major subject that attracts considerable attention from design profession. Design activism is commonly addressed as an approach or a viewpoint. However, this study postulates design activism as a movement; it has been influenced by social events and movements in conjunction with socio-economic and political developments and consequently, it has evolved into a movement within the industrial design profession. This study critically analyses design activism discourse over a group of publications which constitutes the core of the discourse, both in its historical context and cumulatively. The critical analysis of the discourse discloses the ideology of design activism, its relationship with other domains and subjects, its content and context, the objectives of design activism, and the course of action that is supposed to achieve the objectives. This analysis also allows me to identify the deficiencies of design activism movement. The study is concluded with a plausible roadmap which can be followed in the near future to achieve the objectives of design activism movement.
