Abstract
Turgut Cansever, who pioneered the architectural contributions in introducing culture to the world and transferring it to future generations on behalf of our country, constitutes the focus of the study. Cultural transmission through architecture has been examined through three of his works, each of which has the international Aga Khan architecture award, embodying the architectural approach shaped by Cansever's philosophy. The examples examined in the context of the culture-architecture relationship, which form the framework of the study, document how the architect contributed to the transfer of culture through his works and how he opened the floodgates to authentic local architectural approaches to the next generations. Unique productions that combine and interpret the moral values of the society in which they live, such as beliefs, traditions, customs and lifestyles, and material values such as crafts, materials, and environmental values, play an important role in dissemination and transmission of culture.
