Mekan Tasarımında Kavram Geliştirme Sürecine Analitik Bir Yaklaşım

Abstract

This research studies the mental process on the first steps of designing which is notion formation process. Obtaining notions by experiencing the nature and reproducing them are the basic activities of creativity. The first chapter gives general information about the subject, field and method of the problem. The literature research which is studied in the first chatpter forms the dissertation. The second chapter studies the general definitions of notion and focuses on its meanings in the space design field. It compares the differences between Notion -which are acquired from nature- and concept –which are reproduced by these acquisitions-. The beginning stage of the design process is sometimes a rapid occuring and hard monitored; sometimes a slowspeed and expressionist stage. In this case, this dissertation examines the first datas which are the starting point of the design process and the developed derivatives of these datas in two main sections. The third chapter examines the attaining activities for notions which soon will become the starting point for design. In this stage the designer uses a rational approach to start on which are defined problems. On the other hand, the designer uses a more intuitive way to start and creates his/her own problem. These interactions could cause from a variety of different sources. At this point, the important action is abstracting the datas which are obtained by nature. From past to present, abstraction is an instinctive way of thinking which is a must for attaining notions. The fourth chapter studies the notions defined by the designer becoming expressed for the first time as concepts. Every designer uses their own ways and tools to reconcile and reproduce notions at this stage. The tool of communicating in space design process -one of the ways of embodiment process of thought- concepts’ development process is examined. An overall assessment is made in the final chapter. The attaining process for the notion, the development actions which should be realized by the designers awareness are highlighted.
