One of the contemporary city`s ambition nowadays is to be more comfortable,
flexible and coeval. Although numerous urban design attempts have appeared to
enhance the user’s gratification, there are urgent demands to upgrade the classical
public space to be more agreeable with the necessities of everyday life. Most of the
urban areas after industry era are zoning based, meanwhile, have been less
adaptable to daily life conditions economically, environmentally and
psychologically alike. The zoning based space has a single- activity such as public
or private, workspace or leisure space, etc., while the urgent demand is to look for
kind of space, has mixed -activities that give it more richness, diversity, and
interaction. This type of Heterotopic space has potentials, characteristics, and
efforts that reconcile the everyday life requirements. On another hand, it could be
defined, as a smart space, which is more correspondent with technological
development through applying the digital technologies involved it. Regarding the
principles of the deconstruction approach in urban studies, predominantly the
hybrid space is compatible with these principles. Some of the key strategies that are
sharing in both deconstruction approach and hybrid space concept are the layering
and the binary oppositions. This paper is an attempt to reframe the principles of
creating the public space and portrays the features of transforming the zoning based
area into a hybrid one. In addition, it aims to implement deconstructive approach
tools as strategies for enhancing user satisfaction in public space. The paper adopts
a comparative approach that criticizes the zoning theory from different perspectives
according to numerous situations and it accepts the hybrid space theory as a
substitutional possibility to deconstruct the typical public space.
