Rethinking the Built-in Vitroceramic Cooktop and Interface for Sustainability in collaboration with
Team Members Merve Kรถk, Sima Demir, Yaprak Demirci, Miqdad Mustafa Hashmi
Research Project Dimensions -Resource efficient (reducing amount of water, heat, number of pots, pans and dishes used in the process of cooking and serving) -Responsive to local needs, concerns, preferences and habits -Easy to clean cooktop; easy to clean and store accessories -Prolonging the product lifespan with product details that ease cleaning, maintenance, and repair -Enabling technical or aesthetic upgrading -Enhancing user experience and user attachment through user interface

Prototyping
Finalization Infinity vitroceramic cooktop, grill pan and trivet, are designed in a form which can reflect the harmony of he modern cooking habits and the traditional cooking techniques. Thanks to the spacious form and the simple interface design, the vitroceramic cooktop is easy to use with by a single touch and suitable for big families.
Control Interface Power off
Power on To choose a heater, the user presses the burner icon. The user can adjust the heat level through the dial. The rings can be extende in three levels by a single touch. For grill heaters, one tap on the icoons turns them on and off.
Both the heaters are held for three seconds and icon glows after the grill part is switched on.
For time setting, the user has to press the timer icon and then selects the heater. After that, the dial can be used to adjust the time. To activate the child lock, the user presses the lock icon for three seconds. Every function of the cooktop is activated.

Finalization ICOYA product family is inspired by both nature and built environment of METU campus. Three outdoor units are designed to illuminate the campus at night while they are designed to attract attention of the users during daytime. The grey color of the products is in harmony with the naked buildings at ME TU campus.
Inspirations
Interwined trees
‘Yok’ sculpture
Illuminated areas and the relation to human dimensions
Naked buildings
Bollard The bollard is inspired by interwined trees and ‘Yok’ sculpture located accross the Faculty of Architecture that reflects campus identity. While the longer unit illuminates the pathway, the short one does the grass area.
Pole The pole applies the lighting solution as illuminating to darker walkways for people at the campus. The high technological LEDs are assembled from the outside of the pole top, so it is able to easily repaired.
Wall Mounted The wall mounted lighting unit has also similar characteristics of other members of ICOYA. It illuminates upward of the wall and it also can be used for illuminating the name of departments.

Finalization Elmas tea set consists of six tea glasses, six saucers and one sugar bowl. It is inspired by facets and the elegant shape of diamond. The purpose is that making the organic form of traditional Turkish tea glass more modern with sharp edges. The form of the tea glass make easier to hold product, and it also creates an elegant view with reflection and refraction properties of glass. MERVE KĂ–K
The body of the tea glass has sharp triangular surfaces and they get smoother as approaching the rim so that it provides user easy to hold and usage experience. There are six tea glasses on the one package.
The form of the saucer is similar to the top of the tea glass. The octagonal bottom surface of the saucer is compatible with that of the tea glass. Each package can contain six pieces.
The sugar bowl has similar attributes with both the tea glass and the saucer. The sugar bowl is packed as one sugar bowl with lid.
All packages have the same height and depth measurements that provides efficient use to be able to put one unit on top of another, and to be stacked togehter on the shelf.

School Door Handles and Accessories Product Family co-designing with children in collaboration with
Research Project Dimensions We visited a primary school and observed how doors, entrance and passageways contributed to identification of spaces and circulation in the school. •durable

Participatory Workshop We made a workshop with primary school children whose ages ranging from 6-10 in order to understand the needs and preferences of them. They drew their dream door and door accessories and made model of them. The perspective of children helped us to gain a lot of insights about the project.
