Abstract
At the beginning of 2020, the virus called "COVID-19" spread rapidly all over the world. One of the measures taken to prevent the spread of the virus was social distance rules. Hence, employees and students had to work remotely using communication tools. In the design field, professionals and students working remotely during the pandemic, were limited to the possibilities of the communication tools they used while developing the design process, and they found ways to use these facilities in line with their practice routines in the physical environment. In this article, the tools used during the collaborative design processes conducted remotely during the pandemic were examined with a questionnaire study. Even though designers worked digitally due to the necessity to continue their work in this period, it was observed that they had positive experiences with the special tools they used. However, the transfer of tacit knowledge to design projects in the collaborative design process has been restricted in the collaborative design process due to limited spatial communication. While many designers were discovering the tailored tools for this purpose they could already use, many improvements were suggested through the unaware needs became explicit ones.

During the design process, stakeholders with different levels and areas of expertise contribute to defining design problems within projects

Summary
Stakeholders with different levels and areas of expertise contribute to defining design problems within projects. The recent COVID19 pandemic a newly discovered virus caused an infectious disease, COVID-19 which outbroke in Wuhan, China in 2019. It is declared as a pandemic affecting many countries globally by WHO in March 2020. The number of physical meetings had to be minimised and employers were forced to implement teleconferencing or teleworking systems.While many studies have been conducted in the field of design by remote collaboration, the use of new tools has remained an option for individuals and Ozturk, P., Avci, C. The Effect of Remote Collaborative Work on Design Processes During the Pandemic. The current pandemic has forced many designers to work remotely, meaning the use of such tools has become a compulsory part of their practice
