An Exploration of Architectural Identity in the Walled City of Famagusta

Öz

Maintaining a sense of belonging and identity is one of the essential goals in the design of a built environment. That is why identity and its complex manifestation in architecture has been one of the main dilemmas ahead for architects. Such difficulty has been even more evident in the case of the built environments of islands due to their dynamic characteristics. Despite its importance, however, contemporary architecture in many islands, including Cyprus, shows little interest in creating meaningful and identifiable environments. Nevertheless, traditional architecture still offers the best solution for Cyprus in terms of cultural sustainability and identity. People who live in traditional buildings and districts more easily feel that some part of the environment belongs to them. Traditional architecture, representing a great deal of place-based experience, is thus worth studying. This study will assess the architectural quality and characteristics of local houses in “the walled city” in Famagusta. Traditional houses in this area demonstrate the identity of architecture in North Cyprus. This study uses observation and analysis to describe and categorize the characteristics of local houses, resulting in 10 identifiable characteristics for houses in the walled city. In finding and defining these characteristics, the study has focused on features that are still in use. Such living characteristics can be used in contemporary architecture as well
