The
need for shelter has been one of the most basic requirements of mankind
throughout the ages. All built structures have become affected and affecting in
the entire ecosystem, both in terms of production and use, with priority being
given to the near surroundings. The integration of the constructions with the
natural environment and the fact that the harmful effects to the environment
are minimized and the resulting structures become part of the ecosystem, reveal
the concept of ecological architecture. In ecological architecture the use of
environmental factors as a design input is essential. In today's world,
ecological criteria and parameters are determined by various certification
systems.
The
buildings produced before the concept of ecological architecture is located in
the literature, can also be subjected to ecological evaluation under their own
conditions. Even it can be said that some bases of the concept of ecological
architecture expressed in the frame of certain rules today are based on this constructions.
In the study, buildings of the American College built as a campus in the late
18th century in Kayseri-Talas in central parts of Turkey were evaluated in
terms of ecological architectural criteria. As a result of the study it’s been
seen that the structures produced by traditional methods provide the majority
of the ecological architectural criteria of today.
