This paper sums up design approaches that relativley did last longer in architectural history. In which can be counted as: Open Plan, Industrialization and Prefabrication, Functional Uncertainty, Open Building and User Participation Design Approache. In order to design spaces that is inherently flexible and adaptable, it is beneficial to look back over the different methods experienced in the past centuries. However, it is not a necessity for us to reproduce the same spaces and tarred with the same brush. But rather than that developing or maybe mixing these design approaches. It can be said that there is no one truth or one right design approach to beleive in to accomplish flexibility, yet, it is important for the architect to choose the right method or maybe to mix methods that would be suitable for the place, people and time period designed for.}, number={3}, publisher={Tuncay AYDEMİR}
