    Development and evaluation of a new studio-based course on critical design
    (ITB Journal Publisher, 2018) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Coşkun, Aykut; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 165306
    Although the last decade has seen critical design growing as an area of research, studies have rarely focused on how to teach it. Some design schools have established graduate programs and others have developed individual undergraduate courses on critical design. However, to date there has been no study that investigated student reactions to the learning of critical design. Addressing this gap, this paper proposes a new studio-based course at the graduate level aimed at providing students with a medium for critical discussion and creative reflection on contemporary social issues. Lectures, seminars and class discussions were used to instruct theoretical concepts pertaining to critical design, while a 10-week design studio project was used to concretize these concepts. The students' initial reactions to this teaching methodology was gathered through semi-structured interviews conducted at the end of the course. The interview results indicate that students had a very positive attitude towards critical design and the course. Furthermore, although understanding critical design was a major challenge for them, the teaching methods used in the course (i.e. lectures, critical design assignment and reflection paper) helped them overcome this challenge. Finally, this paper offers suggestions for design educators for constructing critical design courses that meet design students' expectations.

    Flexographic artists’ books
    (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Press, 2016) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569
    This article introduces experimental artists' books created in the interstices between technology and tradition. The series of books are created by utilizing scraps produced via flexographic label printing. Each book is constituted by means of the accumulation of paper on the machine, which introduces a never-ending page structure as a result of the continuous roll, creating a swirling formation. The work is an inquiry on growth, imperfection, form and time, enriched by the impact of mechanical processes that are inherent to the creation of the book. It also investigates experimental uses of printing and paper-cutting mechanisms.
