THE SPATIAL ROLE OF CERAMICS: EVALUATING FUREYA KORAL’S WORKS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INTERIOR SPATIAL CONFIGURATION AND USER EXPERIENCE
Öz
Füreya Koral (1910–1997), recognized as the first professional female ceramic artist in Turkey, approached contemporary ceramics not merely as decorative elements but as integral components of spatial identity and user experience. Her pioneering vision led to the widespread incorporation of ceramics into both architectural and interior design practices across Turkey. She produced large-scale ceramic panels for diverse interior environments including public institutions, hotels, marketplaces, and universities. Although existing literature extensively addresses Koral’s biography and artistic production within the fields of fine arts, architecture and ceramic arts, this study seeks to explore, for the first time, the contribution of her ceramic works to the spatial configuration of interiors through the lens of user perception and experience. Emphasizing the human-space relationship—one of the core dimensions of interior architecture—this research investigates how ceramics function as experiential and identity-forming design elements within interior settings.
