Software design is a challenging task. Nowadays, no single designer is able to developer a software alone due to the complexity of the current applications. This suggests that software development is a cooperative activity. As cooperative, software development tools need support awareness in order for usable and useful applications to be developed. This paper describes a set of requirements bas...

nowadays, previously performance-oriented architecture of healthcare centers has been switched to creating a healing environment; and one of the most important pillars to create such an environment is omitting sound pollutions. today's hospital have chaotic situation regarding noise pollution not only in our country, but also in all over the world. the present study aims to provide a compl...

This paper reports an observation of communication in collaborative design by examining several historical cases of building design projects. It will present three cases of teamwork in architectural modelling. Each case provides a collection of drawings or illustrations that depict the artefacts being designed and constructed. Looking at the cases from the design as modelling perspective, two i...

This paper presents an introduction to modern and interdisciplinary concepts related to creativity and creative processes.

In this section we will give an (extremely) brief Introduction to the concept of interior point methods • Logarithmic Barrier Method • Method of Centers We have previously seen methods that follow a path On the boundary of the feasible region (Simplex). As the name suggest, interior point methods instead Follow a path through the interior of the feasible region.

The software architecture community has advocated design rationale in the last decade. However, there is little knowledge of how much reasoning is performed when software design judgments are made. In this study, we investigated the amount of design reasoning performed before making a decision. We recruited 32 students and 40 professionals to participate in this software architecture design stu...

The heart of interior design/architecture education is design studios. As a design-based graduate program, the main objective International Masters Interior Architecture and Design Program-(IMIAD) in Istanbul Technical University Graduate School to produce new disciplinary information knowledge for (Cordan, 2017). Additionally, Project III, which third studio blended with thesis studies IMIAD P...

In our previous studies into web design, we found that pens, paper, walls, and tables were often used for explaining, developing, and communicating ideas during the early phases of design. These wall-scale paper-based design practices inspired The Designers’ Outpost, a tangible user interface that combines the affordances of paper and large physical workspaces with the advantages of electronic ...

In both business training and higher professional education there is a clear shift towards competencybased learning to cope with fast technological and societal changes. Competencies can be construed as abilities that enable learners to recognize and define new problems in their domain of study and future work as well as solve these problems (Kirschner, van Vilsteren, Hummel, & Wigman, 1997). A...
