Digital culture, reflected in every aspect of human life, has a direct impact on art and architecture. The developments brought about by digitalization in these fields have paved the way for the formation of hybrid spaces that offer a digital spatial experience to the user. By bridging physical and digital realities, these spaces introduce design processes that differ from established architectural workflows, making their internal structure and development a subject of inquiry. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine the internal structure and developmental stages of hybrid space design processes within architectural practice, and to discuss the design-related innovations these processes introduce to architectural design thinking.
The necessity of addressing hybrid spaces created as a result of a multidisciplinary design process in the context of architectural design guided this research. The theoretical framework of the study was established during the preparation phase of the study, which was conducted in four stages. Data were obtained from three sources: analyses of project examples, interviews with design studios, and on-site detection studies. In the subsequent data analysis phase, the data were first examined separately, then the entire data set was evaluated, and finally analyzed holistically using triangulation. The analysis results were presented schematically and discussed. The findings showed that hybrid spaces not only brought innovations to the architectural design process but also transformed the tools and methods used and the team structures. This trend requires adaptable, iterative design strategies that integrate digital and physical spaces and involve technology-focused, interdisciplinary collaboration.
