    The Use and Importance of Emotional Design in Contemporary Design Practice
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Ürgen, Canalp; Kidöz, Şölen; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This thesis investigated emotional design concept. Products evoke emotions in people. This thesis suggests that emotions are at a basic importance for the success of a product since they influence product evaluation, purchase decision and product experience of users significantly. It is also claimed that, by the means of emotions, a higher user satisfaction, product longevity and a better product performance can be achieved, which will result in an enriched life.To provide an insight to emotional design concept, thesis investigated how products evoke emotions in people. Two recent design projects based on the traditions in emotion research were investigated in depth. Learning to Talk with Your Body project that is based on Jamesian tradition revealed that products could be designed to elicit predefined emotional responses in users. Emotionally Intelligent Alarm Clock project that is based on the cognitive tradition showed that it is possible to reach a higher user experience . thus an enriched life . through emotions. Aesthetics was considered as the most appropriate term encompassing the emotional attributes of products. Recent studies showed that, besides being appealing,aesthetic (attractive) products are perceived to perform better. Aesthetics generates a positive motivation for the user by contributing to the meaningfulness of the product.Thus aesthetics was accepted as a part of function. Roles of form, material and color in evoking emotions were investigated.Detailed observations about the emotional experiences of users with products and environment are fundamental necessities. Observing a user in a holistic structure, within a framework of a relational environment instead of evaluating user.s isolated performances in isolated activities will give a better understanding of user emotions.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Aytaç, Sıdıka Mine; Özcan, Ahmet Can; Özcan, Ahmet Can; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Toilet is a critical link. The problem of body waste disposal is a subject that has always necessarily been the prime concern for humans living in society. Considering the evolution of the toilet is important for comprehending toilet design today and especially the deficiency of it. The idea of toilet is distinctly connected with the concept of cleanliness. The theory of bacteria and the rise of scientific thought gave rise to the concept of 'hygiene' and its appearance in daily life, which in turn altered the inside view of dwellings. Toilet is a vital part of this home system, distinctly related to human and environmental factors. Basically, the toilet is a machine for mixing faeces, urine, toilet paper, and water. This machine can be equipped with a number of accessories, but whatever its shape, in fact the WC is more than an object based on the idea of disposal of flushing away and hiding or diluting something we do not want. It is obvious that the disposal of waste can only be a part of 'toilet design'.In the history of the toilet, the main problem has remained the disposal of human waste at city level. This was assumed to be solved when the sewerage system was introduced. In fact, the world has yet to deal with environmental problems. Ecological sanitation offers a solution to toilets' share of pollution. Moreover, the addition to ecological conditions, it is important to design a toilet by thinking in a way regarding human psychological and physiological needs.For taking toilet design a step further, this research aims to reveal criteria to solve sanitation problems by focusing on the entire mechanism including, the toilet and toilet system, which should be considered and designed to serve all needs of cultures, ages, differences as a part of everyday life, to be adopted in varies occasions adding to global needs and realities.especially to reach 'the ideal toilet'.
