Abstract:

The ceramic art, which has come to the forefront since the Neolithic Age, has always existed in the historical period as both material and art. While ceramics have been produced as an item of use for needs throughout ages, today it has a universal feature with its traditional and advanced technology classification for different purposes such as design-material dimension, form-shape relationship, interdisciplinary usability, aesthetic criteria in architectural structures and artistic production. Ceramic, whose main raw material is clay; is a basic material where comfort and aesthetics meet in architecture with its breathable and healthy bioclimatic properties that are compatible with technology. Modernity in the field of architecture has started to come to the fore in today's society and brought extraordinary structures to the front of the people. This is seen that visual and plastic arts are used in architectural structures with the combination of many factors such as interdisciplinary interactions, material combinations and technology. Some architects make their projects stronger by using aesthetic elements and alternative materials in effective and magnificent design projects with today's technological possibilities. Since the ceramic material is suitable to be used as a structural member, in projects; It takes its place in architecture as an effective means of expression, with the possibilities brought by material, design, technique and technology. In this research, firstly, the concept of modernity and its reflections on architecture are theoretically discussed. Afterwards, the projects that were built in large sizes by associating architectural structures with ceramic forms in the modernity process and how artistic exterior ceramic tiles were used in buildings in design dimensions were investigated and explained with examples. In this qualitative research process, the interactions of innovative architectural designs in the ceramic dimension were included.
