The design studios, which constitute the core educational spaces of the Istanbul Aydın University Industrial Design Program, are organized to enable students to experience creative thinking, problem-solving, and the design process in a holistic manner. The studios are equipped with ergonomic workstations that support both individual and group work, as well as drawing and presentation tools.

Open Studio

The Open Studio environment is actively used for sketching, concept development, creating user scenarios, design critiques (juries), and project presentations. Throughout the semester, students develop their projects in these spaces in close collaboration with their academic advisors, gaining professional design studio experience.

Computer-Aided Design Laboratory

The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Laboratory is equipped to support the digital phases of the industrial design process. The laboratory utilizes professional software for three-dimensional modeling, technical drawing, visualization, and rendering.

In this environment, students develop skills in product design, mechanical detailing, surface modeling, and the preparation of presentation visuals. The CAD laboratory operates in an integrated manner with the digital production and prototyping stages of the design process.

Presentation, Exhibition, and Portfolio Areas

Projects produced within the scope of the Industrial Design Program are exhibited in dedicated presentation and exhibition areas. These spaces are used for end-of-semester juries, project presentations, and student exhibitions. In addition, appropriate infrastructure is provided for portfolio preparation and product photography.

These areas offer students the opportunity to present their designs in a professional environment and to enhance their visual communication skills.

Theoretical Classrooms

The theoretical courses of the Istanbul Aydın University Industrial Design Program are conducted in classrooms equipped with contemporary educational technologies. These spaces are designed to support the effective delivery of courses such as design theory, design history, ergonomics, materials knowledge, production methods, and user-centered design.

Theoretical classrooms are equipped with projection systems, smart boards, audio and visual equipment, and multimedia-supported teaching infrastructure. Both amphitheater-style and standard classroom layouts are designed with careful consideration of visibility and acoustic conditions to ensure effective learning.

Courses conducted in these classrooms complement studio and workshop-based education, enabling students to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical applications. The close proximity of theoretical classrooms to studios and laboratories within the campus facilitates easy transitions between courses and encourages interdisciplinary interaction.
