The ‘other’ quality attributes are seldom considered to be very important ones. However, these are vital items for the future generations of a software package and actually a software model can be developed considering only one of these items. There are, however, some other important issues that may contribute to the development of this model, which did not come up in the user analyses. These issues are brought up by the author, assessing the existing software packages based on her past experience in the market. With the emergence of computer assisted drawings, the importance of presentation grows in interior architectural education and market. Having a realistic and impressive presentation makes instructors, students and customers more satisfied. Consequently, the users will force the limits of software employed. Software packages may not only be used for presenting images, but also for generating simulations, animating how people will use or how the interior will behave when the project is realized. Software packages, embellished with simulation possibilities such as representing the behavior of water in the inside or the outside conditions (sun, wind, rain, etc.), or assessing the acoustics behavior of an interior will be of much use in the near future. Such packages may even be used to show the lighting quality of an interior environment whether with lights reacting to sensors, or different conditions. In addition, for interior architects it may be beneficial to model objects using realistic and complex geometries rather than quadric surfaces. These are high-order surfaces, including spline fits, curved surfaces, patches and grid representations. It may be assumed that the requirements about simulations and high- order surfaces will become common place soon in interior architectural education and practice. Although these requirements may be difficult and time consuming to be integrated into the software, and may increase the price of the software, a software 115
model should integrate these requirements in order to compete with the current technological developments. Consequently, a domain specific software package should address all of the interior architectural design phases and design purposes in order to have a complete tool in design and education. The proposed model may well be developed by future studies. It needs to be noted that this model constitutes a framework intended for users, not for software developers. Therefore, a software developer may utilize this model in order to develop an interior architectural domain software package. Also, the software developed based on the model should be assessed among the interior architectural students and professionals. Changes in the requirements of the users may be expected after they use the software. Furthermore, the assumptions of this study are limited due to the absence of a structured observation with interior architectural students and professionals while they are using the specified software. Within the scope of this study, structured observation has not performed with the students. However, only in the practice, the author of this thesis makes some observation with her colleagues while utilizing these software. In a future study, this observation may be useful for the development of this proposed model. Moreover, the interface design, and the menu issues are not mentioned within the context of this thesis. A future study might be based on these issues in order to develop adequate formats for interior architectural domain software. 116
