Abstract:

People's search for sheltering resulted in homes. Home architecture carries traces of social lifestyle as well as natural opportunities. Houses force people to live a specific lifestyle. The period of modernity has created various changes in many areas, one of which is home architecture, where doubtless changes have occurred. Unlike traditional houses, modern home architecture attributes attention to the settlement of a nuclear family rather than the residence of the extended family, and to individualization rather than privacy. In addition, modern values and the consumer culture, as well as religious references in modern home architecture, are influential. Thus, a case contradicting the ontology of humans who are social subjects emerges, making people lonely and unhappy. An individualization-centered architecture can cause several obstacles before living and transferring social values and religious beliefs within the family. However, the intensity of communication and sharing within the family is important for the social values and religious beliefs becoming more rooted. Traditional Turkish houses are the means to overcome some of the negative results of modern architecture.
