Research reveals the role of intermediary spaces in architectural design, highlighting hybridization among typologies and transcultural influences.
The contemporary context, which manifests itself as transcultural and subject to hybridization, requires an appropriate spatial-programmatic logic that has the ability to assimilate and examine relations at different levels and support the needs of the contemporary user. The contemporary development of the methodology of the design process is essentially related to the complex state of relations between different typ?logies and relations within specific typologies in the contemporary cultural - social context. Accordingly, the research forms the concept of intermediary spaces through a tripartite synthesis, linking and permeating three themes: the relation architecture - deconstruction, the relation type - hybridization, and the concept of transculturality. Synthetically intertwined and interwoven, they provided an appropriate conceptual and theoretical basis for the research. Principles have been extracted from areas that are tangential to the theory of architecture and the methodology of architectural design, with the aim of forming the concept of intermediary spaces and examining the role of intermediary spaces as a methodological tool in the process of architectural design of trans-typological architectural concepts, which are characterized by hybridization and/or the state of hybridity in the contemporary context of architectural thinking and creation.
