The Research of Biophilic Design in the Traditional Houses of Diyarbakır

Abstract

Today, the results created by the artificial environment have brought about the destruction of nature, the deterioration of naturalness and the separation of people from nature. While people have been living in nature since their existence, they have started to depend on the built environment today. This process had negative effects on humans; it has caused both physical and mental health problems. Different strategies have been developed in architecture in order to reduce these problems that people experience in the artificial environment and to maintain human-nature interaction again. One of them has been biophilic design in architecture. In this study, biophilic and biophilic design concepts are defined, the areas where the approach is used in the historical process and the experiences and features in terms of the implementation of design strategies are explained. In this context, biophilic design was examined by observation method through Diyarbakır traditional houses.
