This study aims to investigate the role of empathy in the disciplines of cinema and interior architecture, with a particular emphasis on individuals with disabilities. The objective is to assess the potential benefits of this empathetic approach through the learning outcomes derived from a workshop study. Workshops are recognized as effective educational tools, as they facilitate a discussion and evaluation environment that transcends conventional standards of interior architecture education. The primary focus of this research is to cultivate empathy and human-centred thinking skills, specifically through the application of the Scamper method in interior architecture design. This study aspires to provide students with opportunities for abstract and creative thinking while fostering innovative design approaches that integrate various disciplines. The Scamper method is a technique designed to encourage creative thinking and to foster diverse perspectives in the design process. The method encompasses nine key steps: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Minify, Magnify, Put to Another Use, Eliminate, and Reverse. It is assumed that the Scamper method will prove effective in the field of interior architecture design education by promoting a problem-oriented approach, enhancing abstract thinking, and cultivating empathy skills, particularly in the context of inclusive design. The objective of this study is to introduce an innovative educational framework for interior architecture design that prioritizes empathy and human-centred design. This approach incorporates the Scamper method within the curriculum, adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, and emphasizes the development of inclusive design practices. Additionally, the study seeks to improve abstract thinking skills in design processes and to explore experimental educational methodologies. It is anticipated that such multidisciplinary strategies and pedagogical innovations will significantly enhance the future of interior architecture design education.
