Abstract
When observed by the graphic designer, the process of graphic design and interior design are quite similar. Both areas apply the rules of defining the problem, and producing ideas and solutions according to the defined problem, and have a direct effect on the masses. Aesthetics, functionality, consistency, sustainability are crucial for both areas of design. This paper examines the department renewal of Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts Graphic Design Department, focusing on graphic design, interior design process, and the constraints and necessities that effect the overall design. The significance of this project is the fact that the designed space is in fact a department of graphic design, therefore while investigating this project, the answer to the question “how should a design school be like?” is examined. The differences and benefits between the space before and after the renovation will be argued as well as the processes and solutions between graphic design and interior design will be researched. The effects of the space on its habitants will be observed. The significance of identity design and information design is discussed, while the implementations on the project will be exemplified. The relationship between people and space is crucial. The space in which a person lives shapes their being, their lives, their thoughts, and their mood. So how does the designer/human shape the space when it is viewed as a design problem, also with the fact that the subject is a graphic design department?
