“…Design students consider these issues cumulatively in the early stages of design. When one includes digital environments to the early stage of design, students are even more motivated to overcome the challenges of these three issues (Varınlıoğlu et al 2015).…”

Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology that is being used in a wide range of fields such as medicine, gaming, psychology and sociology. The use of VR is promising in the field of education and requires investigation, but research on the use of VR in education is still limited. This enables the exploration of new territories, and design education is one of them. Design education, an important part of the curriculum of architecture students who aim to conceptualize problem-solving, is still taught using traditional methodologies with touches of digital technologies. Thus, there is limited research into the implementation of VR. This study proposes using VR in basic design education and focuses on the usability of VR, especially for problem-solving activities. It presents the literature on basic design education of digital approaches, VR technologies, usability criteria and the technology acceptance model. In order to analyse the usability of VR, we conducted an experimental study with 20 first-year interior architecture and architecture students. We found that, statistically, there is a significant difference in terms of 'the intention to use' and 'the perceived enjoyment' between the VR group and the paper-based group. Moreover, there is, statistically, a difference in effectiveness within the paper-based group and the VR-based group when one compares the success of two types of design problems in the same group. Thus, one can summarize that using VR can strongly enhance problem-solving activities in interior architecture and for architecture students and that one can consider it to be a promising and complementary tool in basic design education.

“…In basic design studios, students are exposed both to theory and practice that help them in developing the required skills for the later stages of design education. Varinlioglu et al (2015) demonstrated that the implementation of digital tools in early design process significantly influences the design outcomes of students. Varinlioglu et al (2015) claimed that when digital environments are experienced in early design stages, students tend to participate more enthusiastically in the process and are more motivated to solve the advanced design problems.…”

With the recent advancements in digital technologies, the design studios are transformed to virtual environments that offer both to design students and instructors a broader perspective in understanding the design process. As an integral part of design process, the supporting virtual tools enhance creativity in basic design studios. This study examines the influence of immersive and non-immersive virtual design environments on design process creativity in the first year basic design studio, through observing the factors related to creativity as the flow state and motivation. Consequently, an experiment is conducted to investigate the relationships between spatial ability, flow state and motivation in immersive and non-immersive virtual design environments. Forty-two first-year undergraduate basic design students participated in the experiment. The data analysis demonstrated that the immersive virtual design environment facilitates participants' design process creativity more than the non-immersive one. Also, the findings indicated a positive strong correlation between motivations and flow state and a positive weak correlation between spatial ability and flow state. Study results contributed to a greater understanding of implementing immersive virtual reality as a creativity supporting tool.

“…Similar to the first year core FFD101/102, this CAD course reflects the pedagogy of modeling abstract forms without spatial requirements. This course is followed by various design departments in the university and, therefore this interdisciplinary approach introduces a discrete studio model, a separate course supporting the studio (Varinlioglu et al 2015) consisting of parametric modeling, as well as free-form orthographic drawing techniques designed through parametric tools.…”
