The article problematizes the concept of Contemporaneity to open up a discussion
on architectural creation through design. It asserts that to interpret and to problematize the
changing dynamics of architectural creation in actual conditions, the Contemporaneity opens a
new field of comprehension. Accordingly, the article endeavours to conceptualize the concept
of Contemporaneity in terms of its temporal, spatial and informational qualities in context of
architecture with reference to the related discussions in philosophy and art. Far from fitting
Contemporaneity into a particular definition, the article uncovers the possibilities that the
Contemporaneity provides to experiment with architecture through design thanks to its
experimental nature. It interprets the Contemporaneity as contextual being that provides a
running room for experimenting architecture. In this perspective, it proposes to reposition
architectural creation in a running room opening to Contemporaneity. Accordingly, the
realization of architectural creation in the design space spread over such a running room is
brought forward and the spatio-temporal informational configuration of design space as a basic
architectural creation field is opened to discussion.
