In order to design forward product/services in a continuously changing world, designers should have " future vision ". Futures Studies is considered a practical way to help designers develop the capacity for future vision. The main research problems in this study are; what kind of problems do students confront when they undertake future oriented design projects? and how can the implementation of futures research methods in studio education be beneficial for design students?

It can be defined as finding the basic codes of " creating " and presenting a flexible implementing plan for design with certain algorithms. Examining the roots and reasons of Generative Design is the subject of this article. Nigel Cross's article " The Coming of Post-Industrial Design" which investigates the paradigm shift at industrial product design after " Modern Movement " and puts forward suggestions for future, has taken as basis. In collaboration with Cross and his contemporaries comments, revealing factors of generative design will be analyzed.

The history of evil eye bead usage dated back to ancient times, but upon time it's meaning have been reconstructed by culture. This paper focused on an amulet based commodity " evil eye bead " used against evil eye and for ornament in Turkey. In order to analyze the myth of evil eye bead, two-sectioned survey was conducted. First section determined evil eye belief rate, participant profile and objects against evil eye. In the second section, the semantic dimensions of evil eye bead was analyzed in the myth level encompassing its perception and function as a cultural opponent act. This paper interrogated the role of culture, geography, and history on the evil eye bead myth.

Hence, to keep up with the change or to achieve the desired change, futures studies is undertaken in areas such as economics, sociology and politics. The change rate upon time and designers' need to keep up with it highlight the importance of futures studies at design studies. This paper aims to contribute future vision to undergraduate industrial design students, by forming a methodology based on futures studies literature, to be used in long-range future-oriented design (LFD) projects in undergraduate industrial design education. The study was based on action research scheme and designed in two cycles. In the paper, the results of these two cycles will be shared and the developed methodology will be introduced with its tools.

To keep pace with the change, having a future vision is an up-to-date topic. Thus in social, economical and political areas futurists are making studies to be ready to future. At Industrial Design profession the importance of future vision is began to be noticed as well. Designers are researching on usage of futures research methods within design methods. Normative methods are seen as compatible with design process. Analyzing future and study of foresighting it focuses on products and environments for designers. Marzano (2002) forecasts that todays technologies will disappear and timeless objects will remain in the future. G.Q. Maguire Jr. (1998) uses " disappearing object " definition in his study and makes a list of possible disappearing objects of the future. With analyzing of " disappearance " concept, future vision at industrial design can be formed. In order to analyze this hypothesis, " Disappearing Object-Radio Concept at 2020 " workshop was carried out by using qualitative and future research methods.
