On the Interaction Between Shared Design Studios and Interior Architecture Students: A New Spatial Experience with Extended Reality for Supporting Place Attachment

Place attachment is one of the basic psychological needs in the human-space relationship. Itis known that the characteristics of the shared design studios have a direct effect on the space adaptationof the user. Place attachment occurs simultaneously with the space adaptation process of the students,therefore these two concepts have a direct relationship with each other. Open and flexible activities inshared design studios reduces the adaptation and working efficiency of the students. It can be said thatthis situation will cause problems in the sense of belonging to that kind of learning environments. It isknown that the user of the shared workspace tends to personalize the studios as a result of the need forbelonging in the place adaptation status. The process of the study is trifold; first the concept of shareddesign studios was examined and researches on the concepts of personalization and belonging wereconveyed through literature reviews in order to reveal the interior design students and shared designstudio relationship. Then using literature data, a spatial belonging scale was presented to interior designstudents to determine their place attachment status and augmented reality was used to test the tendencyto customize shared studio spaces accordingly. Lastly their affiliation in the hybrid environment andtheir tendency to personalize the space were analyzed.
