PRIVACY DIMENSIONS: A CASE STUDY IN THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO

The most commonly used space in architectural education is the studio, which functions both as a learning centre and as a complex social organization. The behavioural elements in the design studio are analysed with respect to the social processes of environmental psychology; namely privacy, personal space, territoriality and crowding. A case study was conducted to evaluate the differences between the desired and actual conditions of a design studio in the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Bilkent University. The expectations and preferences of the interior architecture students pertaining to the design studio were analysed by considering the sex differences in patterns of privacy preferences and the results of this study are expected to be used as input for a new design studio. Results showed that there was no difference between preferences of solitude, reserve, anonymity, and isolation among sexes. Although there was a significant difference among sexes where females preferred intimacy with family and males preferred intimacy with friends.

CIE標準天空との相関係数による天空輝度分布の分類 : 天空輝度分布の分類法の研究(その1)

Suitable standard data on daylight and solar radiation are absolutely prepared and offered for the excellent energy saving interior environmental design. The first step of the modification of the data by real measurements into the useful standard data is to classify the sky, conditions when the data were gained. A proposal of a means is stated in this paper in order to divide the sky conditions into ordered categories. The sky conditions when the data were measured are arranged based upon the comparison with the sky, luminance distribution data obtained by sky scanning and the theoretical results on CIE(Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) Standard Clear and Overcast Sky and Intermediate Sky by one of the authors. The sky conditions are finally classifred into Clear, Near Clear, Intermediate, Near Overcast and Overcast Sky. This Research work is deeply related to the IDMP(International Daylight Measurement Programme) promoted by CIE. Its result convinces authors of its great contributions to the progress IDMP and development of interior environmental design.

Innovative Approaches to Teaching Residential Design

In order to generate a more real istic and up–to–date approach to residential design, an interior design educator and environmental design researcher teamed up to teach a senior level residential design class. This course emphasized innovative departures from previous teaching practice. Content innovations included energy conscious design, spec–built rather than custom designed housing, and multi–family residential design. Innovative teaching approaches included role playing by students as members of design development teams, preparation of programming documents by students who analyzed behavioral aspects and activity patterns in response to environmental factors, and project review by staff of a design development firm in the process of building a multi–family passive solar development.
