Effects of Drawing Techniques on Designers' Creativity, Integration, Conceptualization and Application Skills

Abstract

In this research, the effects of the opportunities and innovations offered by digital design technologies commonly used in the field of design on the creativity / originality, integration, conceptualization and application skills that constitute the performance of the designers were investigated. In the study, the effects of manual drawing (MD) and computer aided design (CAD) techniques used in the design process on the performance of designers in design studios affected by digital technology were examined. In the research questionnaire, there are 34 questions in total with three options to learn the effects of drawing techniques on design performance of design educators and students. The results obtained from the questionnaire show that when MD + CAD techniques are used together in design studios, students may have more positive effects on design performance.

Tasarımcıların Yaratıcılık, Bütünleştirme, Kavramsallaştırma ve Uygulama Becerileri Üzerine Çizim Tekniklerinin Etkileri

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, tasarım alanında yaygın olarak kullanılan dijital tasarım teknolojilerinin sunduğu imkânların ve yeniliklerin, tasarımcıların yaratıcılık/özgünlük, bütünleştirme, kavramsallaştırma ve uygulama becerileri üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, dijital teknolojinin etkilediği tasarım stüdyolarında, tasarım sürecinde kullanılan manuel çizim (MD) ve bilgisayar destekli tasarım (CAD) tekniklerinin, tasarımcıların yaratıcılık, bütünleştirme, kavramsallaştırma ve uygulama becerileri üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Araştırma anketinde, çizim tekniklerinin tasarım eğitimcileri ve öğrencilerinin tasarım performansını oluşturan yaratıcılık/özgünlük, bütünleştirme, kavramsallaştırma ve uygulama becerileri üzerindeki etkilerini öğrenmek için üç seçenekli toplamda 34 soru bulunmaktadır. Anketten elde edilen sonuçlar, tasarım stüdyolarında MD+CAD tekniklerinin birlikte kullanıldığı durumlarda, öğrencilerin yaratıcılık/özgünlük, bütünleştirme, kavramsallaştırma ve uygulama becerileri üzerinde daha olumlu etkilerinin olabileceğini göstermektedir.
