Hybridity can be defined as two or more characters meeting and establishing a new structure together by transferring their own characteristics without destroying each other. Many situations associated with their existing environment or with previous periods in cultural or physical terms can be considered as hybrid. The study aims to explain that the use of hybridity while designing with context is an important method to maintain the essence of the place. Within the scope of the study, a methodological discussion with questions on hybridity in design has been developed on examples selected as 'contextual representations'. These examples are similar to attempts to relate to context. However, the results may vary in terms of the hybrid relationships established. Along with the theoretical framework, two different hybrid approaches considered as the main theme of the study. The first approach called is when hybridity arises through similarities with place's context. David Chipperfield / River and Rowing Museum, Raj Rewal / Nehru Memorial Pavilion, and Charles Correa / Crafts Museum are the examples analysed considering this first approach. The second approach is when hybridity appears through architects' inclinations merge with place's context. Eduardo Souto de Moura / Paula Rego Museum, Cascais, Portugal, Amateur Architecture Studio / Ningbo History Museum, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China and Zvi Hecker &Rafi Segal / Palmach Museum, Tel Aviv, Israel are the examples analysed. For a deeper analyses Welling's cognitional reasoning is discussed. Considering the examples, it is seen that the common purpose of hybrid systems is to achieve 'the essence of sustainability' or 'sustainable essence'.
