The Applicability of Ecological Lessons Learnt from Traditional Houses to Mass Housing Projects: A Case Study of Akçaabat, Trabzon/Turkey
Journal Title: Online Journal of Art and Design - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The housing needs of Turkey’s population are increasing rapidly, especially in major provinces, due to various factors such as natural population increase and migration. Mass housing is considered a solution to the lack of housing. However, mass housing structures are designed and constructed uniformly, without any consideration of the architectural, climatic and topographical features of their location. The care and effort towards ecological values found in examples of traditional architecture, which are in harmony with and respectful to nature, cannot be found in mass housing projects that are built today.
