This study explores apriori computational benchmarks embed in architectural design processes that hybridise representations made of 2D and 3D drawings. The paper presents creative design experiments from an unconventional architectural design studio at graduate level that takes advantage of digital design methods taught in the course. In orthodox architectural studios where drawings are seen as means of blueprints, the processes of design ideation, abstraction and speculation remain in a nominal position. The research approach of this study lies in a 3-dimensional design thinking process that extends beyond the formal fixations of drawings onto the statements and reductions of unequivocal representational norms. The present work is conducted as part of the Digital Spontaneity which is one of the third- and fourth-years’ architectural design studios given at Mardin Artuklu University, Department of Architecture. The paper introduces the pedagogical aspects of the Digital Spontaneity studio by informing about the design process that offers a methodological foundation. The methodology is illustrated through stages with 2D, 2.5D and 3D representations, including scalar, geometric, material transfigurations. The studio outcome is evaluated through a correlation diagram that relate the drawings in different stages to each other. The findings suggest that the correlative interpretation of computational processes during the design ideation process may include intuitive, reflective and retrospective synthesis. The research contributes to the novel understanding of the role of digital design tools and methods in the generation and emergence of design ideation as meaningful, conceptual, speculative representations directly related to buildable forms and spaces of architecture.
