Current Possibilities and Constraints of Interactive Space Solutions with the Use of Microcontroller Systems in Interior Design

Abstract

Maker movement that presents a life vision of people whom producing their needs started to appear in the design of users’ environments with the Industry 4.0. Especially it is possible to plan interior elements and systems for the smart home concepts with microcontrollers that have user friendly interfaces like Arduino. That situation also affects design process, morphology and function of microcontroller-based interactive interiors. Understanding the limits of the microcontrollers for designing the interactive spaces in the future is essential, therefore purpose of this research is examining the ways to benefit microcontrollers during interactive interior design process in housing for interior designers. Study analyses the morphology and the functions of the interactive interiors and spatial elements designed by the makers and proposes useful design methods for the designers. As a qualitative research, relational screening method has been used in the study. As a result of the study, it is aimed to present methods that interior designers can follow in the design process of microcontroller-based spaces such as kinetic space elements and interactive surfaces. At the end of the study, findings on the possibilities, limitations and possible recommendations of these technologies were presented.

Mikrodenetleyici Sistemlerin Kullanımı ile Etkileşimli Mekân Çözümlerinin İç Mekân Tasarımında Sunduğu Güncel Olanak ve Kısıtlar

Öz

Her bireyin kendi ihtiyaçlarını üretebileceği bir yaşam vizyonu sunan Üreten hareketi, Endüstri 4.0 dönemiyle kullanıcıların yaşam alanlarının tasarımında yer bulmaya başlamıştır. Özellikle Arduino gibi kullanıcı dostu ara yüzlere sahip mikrodenetleyicilerle akıllı ev konsepti içerisinde etkileşimli mekân öğeleri planlamak mümkündür. Bu durum, mikrodenetleyici tabanlı etkileşimli mekânların tasarım sürecinde biçim dili ve işleve etki eder. Gelecekte etkileşimli mekânların tasarımlarında mikrodenetleyici sistemlerinin sınırlarının anlaşılması önem arz ettiği için, bu çalışmada iç mimarlar ve tasarımcıların etkileşimli mekân tasarımı sürecinde mikrodenetleyicilerden ne şekilde faydalanılabilecekleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma, “üreten” olarak tanımlanan kullanıcılar tarafından tasarlanmış etkileşimli mekân ve öğelerinin biçim ve işlevlerini analiz ederek tasarımcılar için yararlı tasarım yöntemlerinin önerilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Nitel bir araştırma olan bu çalışmada, ilişkisel tarama yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda iç mimarların mikrodenetleyici temelli mekânların tasarım sürecinde izleyebilecekleri yollara dair kinetik mekân öğeleri ve etkileşimli yüzeyler gibi yöntemler sunulması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda bu teknolojilerin olanakları, kısıtları ve olası önerilerle ilgili bulgular ortaya konmuştur
