The established binary oppositions like ‘ modern vs. traditional ’ or ‘ urban vs. rural ’ fall short either to comprehend or to (re)generate cultural complexity of the contemporary societies. This problem is usually exposed by the critiques questioning the nature of design in urbanism reducing the domain to formal, functional or stylistic expressions in practice. The alternative track exposing another strategic outlook in the search for ‘enforced’ diversity within the neighbourhood, however, reveals some other social drawbacks in practice. Considering the fact that each community formation creates its own cultural interpretation of the living environment not only at the levels of building and street, but also at that of collective urban fabric, one could argue that the current urban design frameworks fall short to respond to the intrinsic complexity of localities in the city. An alternative approach, in this regard, requires a serious shift in the desired image of multiplicity of urban form. In that view, the paper addresses the concept of ‘heterotopia’ as the theoretical framework of a new design approach for the generation of an open urban fabric accommodating different socio-spatial settings in an integrated manner. To that end, the paper discusses ‘heterotopology’ as an alternative spatial conception of social diversity which embraces the fundamental ability of different communities to produce their own culture and to influence spatial form within the larger urban context. To elaborate the argument, the thought experiment of two design workshops is utilised as a kind of (methodological) ‘research by design’ from which a series of relational codes have been derived to generate heterogonous, but an integrated urban fabric. Eventually, the proposed morphology based on the autonomy of the fragments within an integrated (larger) spatial context is suggested as an alternative to the prevalent socio-spatial models of diversity in planning.

设计异位：从社会意识形态到空间形态

“现代与传统”或“城市与乡村”等既定的二元对立无法理解或（重新）生成当代社会的文化复杂性。这个问题通常通过质疑城市主义设计本质的批评而暴露出来，这些批评将领域缩小到形式、功能或风格的表达在实践中。然而，在社区内寻求“强制”多样性的另一种策略揭示了另一种战略前景，但揭示了实践中的其他一些社会缺陷。考虑到每个社区形态不仅在建筑和街道层面，而且在集体城市肌理层面都对生活环境进行了自己的文化诠释，有人可能会争辩说，当前的城市设计框架不足以应对城市地区内在的复杂性。在这方面，另一种方法需要对城市形态多样性的理想形象进行重大转变。在这种观点下，本文将“异托邦”的概念作为一种新设计方法的理论框架，用于生成以综合方式适应不同社会空间环境的开放城市结构。为此，本文将“异质拓扑”作为社会多样性的另一种空间概念进行讨论，它包含不同社区在更大的城市环境中产生自己的文化和影响空间形式的基本能力。为了详细说明这个论点，两个设计工作室的思想实验被用作一种（方法论）“设计研究”，从中衍生出一系列关系代码，以产生异质但整合的城市肌理。最终，建议的基于碎片在集成（更大）空间环境中的自主性的形态学被建议作为规划中流行的社会空间多样性模型的替代方案。
