“…In order to nurture students' creative thinking in design education, visual communication and the translation of filmic spaces into spatial design have been emphasized (E. J. . Basic design courses in interior architecture education aim to develop students' creative thinking skills and bring back a sense of childish creativity (Aşkın, 2018). Teaching critical thinking within architectural design education supports the development of design thinking and individual creative design processes (Schoch & Lawanyawatna, 2018).…”

This paper focuses on unlocking the creative potential of architecture students through an exploration of the Four C model of creativity. This model extends the traditional understanding of creativity and offers a comprehensive framework for fostering innovation in architecture. It introduces "mini-c" and "Pro-c" dimensions, highlighting creativity within the learning process and the attainment of professional expertise. Architecture demands a blend of technical skills and artistic expression for effective communication of ideas. However, nurturing creative thinking among architecture students faces challenges, including fear of experimentation and traditional teaching methods. To address these obstacles, the paper suggests integrating problem-based learning (PBL) and mind mapping techniques. PBL encourages collaboration and critical thinking, while mind mapping stimulates visual and associative thinking, aiding idea generation and organization. Additionally, the role of technology in architecture education is explored, emphasizing the benefits of mixed learning environments that enhance collaboration and creativity. Embracing technology readiness equips students with tools to tackle real-world challenges and create innovative designs. In conclusion, this paper underscores the importance of creative thinking in architectural design and its implications for the discipline's future. By adopting the Four C model, implementing PBL with mind mapping, and leveraging technology, educators can revolutionize architecture education, nurturing a new generation of architects prepared to shape the evolving world with imaginative and visionary designs.

“…Basic Design courses aim to enable students to produce designs from an original and aesthetic point of view that meet the needs of current social, cultural and technological developments. Interior Architecture Basic Design courses use disciplines such as music, literature, graphic design, cinema, performance arts, visual and digital arts to develop creative thinking (Aşkın, 2018).…”

The “Basic Design” is one of the common introductory courses in design disciplines. It has great importance in interior architecture education as it forms the basis of design practice. Education that proceeds through abstract concepts creates difficulties for students to internalize this course. To avoid these difficulties, learning by doing is of great importance. The learning-by-doing approach was carried out in the form of a workshop within the scope of the “Basic Design 1” course of the Department of Interior Architecture at Konya Technical University in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. Students were asked to produce three-dimensional designs using basic design principles and elements. The class was divided into groups of eight people and studies were carried out with a workshop coordinator in each group. The duration of the workshop was planned as four weeks. During the workshop, students learned to use materials and colors, to design an original composition. At the end of the workshop, students learned to embody the abstract concepts they learned during the year by creating a composition that considers functionality and aesthetics. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the workshop, a survey study was carried out after the course period ended. As a result, it has been seen that the intelligibility of Basic Design 1, which is a course taught through abstract concepts, has increased thanks to the workshop.

The aim of study is a bibliometric analysis of the publications in the Web of Science database related to interior design education. The research was carried out between 10 January and 12 February 2023. Searches in the TIT-ABS-KEY field of WOS search engine. "Interior architecture education" (Topic) OR "interior architecture education*” (Topic) OR “interior design education” (Topic) OR "interior design education*” (Topic) generating 125 publications on the subject. Most of these were “Proceeding Paper” with 66 publications and in the top position of “Educational Research” with 65 publications; the “Architecture” category came in second with 26 publications. In addition, “Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences” resulted in 25 publications and the “Journal of Interior Design” in 12 publications. Among the WOS indexes, “CPCI-SSH” contains 62 publications. The words most frequently used by authors are interior architecture education, interior architecture, design studio, education, sustainability, design, creativity, design thinking, design processes, and computer-aided design.
