Analysis of Traditional Housing Architecture in the Context of Sustainability: A Case Study of Ayvalık and Oxford Houses

Öz

Geographical and sociological factors have a great influence on architectural design. These effects are especially noticeable in traditional architecture. The physical properties such as heat control, lighting quantity, orientation, dimensions, construction systems and materials of construction are more important in the local architecture than in today's dwellings. When all the factors are taken into consideration, the definition of sustainability is made by itself. This study will be examined in the context of sustainability of traditional stone houses of Ayvalık region from Turkey with similar climatic conditions and Oxfordshire region of England.

Geleneksel Konut Mimarisinin Sürdürülebilirlik Bağlamında İncelenmesi: Ayvalık ve Oxford Evleri Örneği

Öz

Coğrafi ve sosyolojik etmenlerin mimari tasarım üzerinde büyük etkisi vardır. Bu etkiler özellikle geleneksel mimaride  dikkat çeken unsurlardır. Yapının ısı kontrolü, aydınlanma miktarı, yönlenmesi, boyutları, yapım sistemleri ve malzemesi gibi fiziksel özellikler günümüz konutlarına kıyasla yerel mimaride daha çok önem kazanır. Tüm etmenler göz önüne alındığında sürdürülebilirliğin tanımı da kendiliğinden yapılmış olur. Bu çalışmada benzer iklim koşullarına sahip Türkiye'de bulunan Ayvalık ilçesi ve  İngiltere'de Oxford şehri geleneksel taş evleri sürdürülebilirlik bağlamında incelenmiştir.
