REFLECTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES DIFFERENCES ON SPACE: EXAMPLE OF UZUNG？L AND TA？KIRAN

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the spatial shaping of local traditions in vernacular architecture and its usage patterns. Literature review and on-site determinations constitute the working method of this study. To understand the space setup and characteristics of the traditional houses in Trabzon-？aykara Uzung？l and Ta？k？ran, construction techniques were investigated in detail, and the effects on the residential modelling were investigated by interviewing the users about their life styles. At the end of the study, it has been interpreted that despite adhering to the same authentic traditional material, different types of space compositions have developed and there are differences in plan organizations. Uzung？l and Ta？k？ran traditional houses, which are formed by transferring the construction technique belonging to the region throughout the generations, are structures that need to be protected in terms of harmony with the environment and the use of materials that are integrated with nature
