This study represents the furniture design course outputs of a group of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Bachelor's Degree students, working on biologically inspired designs. The aim of the study is to put forward an alternative inspiration-transformation-design process by briefly touching the notion of biomimicry; and by this means to raise the awareness of biological inspiration sources in furniture design. Study reveals the conceptual and final product design suggestions of 38 senior class students. Two essential processes were followed in the study; solution-driven design process and problem-driven design process. Findings showed that there have been some common features and differences between these two processes, in terms of finding the starting point and approaching the final design decisions. In both processes, it was seen that the last steps -principle application-involved a particular process, compared to the other steps in each process. Research and analysis based actions, seen in initial steps, gave place to sketching, design development and the usage of professional notions in the final steps. It can also be said that in both processes, the first steps involved the preparation stages regarding the design inputs, whereas in final steps a transform of information regarding the design output can be observed. These two linear processes were thought to be connected with two essential methods; inductive method and deductive method. Within this scope, 38 design ideas were put forward and suggestions were made regarding the processes.

What gender is and how this concept takes place in our lives are an issue that is widely discussed today. The concept of "gender", which appears as social roles imposed on a person and organized through social interaction, affects society as much as it is influenced by society. The roles assumed in society, practices related to these roles, and representation play a key role in a person's relationship of the person with society. A person is accepted by society and becomes a part of society to the extent that he/she assumes and maintains the role assigned to him/her by society. This condition affects, changes and transforms the person as well as the environment. In this context, the "space" shaped by social values appears as a source where the concrete reflections of the gender roles assumed by the people can be read. It can be said that where we are seen socially is directly proportional to which space we are associated with in a sense. Who some spaces are open to experience or in what way they can be experienced, who is represented in that space or not, clearly reflects social values. Its use, shaped by gender stereotypes, also causes spaces to be gendered and, naturally, to maintain social gender differences. This relationship we establish with space shapes our daily lives. The starting point of this study is to search for the equivalents of the gender and cinema relationship in the context of space and to think that the data to be obtained will contribute to the existing literature. In this context, the relationship between gender and space has been analyzed in movies, which appear as an area where performances about gender roles are exhibited, assimilated and questioned. In all the spaces used in the movies, the situations of "being in the space" and "representation in the space" of the female and male characters under the titles of private and public spaces were examined and it was aimed to reveal the relationship between gender and space.
