Abstract:
Recent earthquake outbreaks and refugee crisis in southern Turkey demands more wholesome and considerate approaches in built environment design more so than ever for the country. Sustainability has been a subject of concern in various levels of our society. Many times, urban design overlooks the unusual and rich achievements of Ecovillages. Ecovillage offers the society an orderly, recyclable and sustainable life on contrary to polluted hectic city life. Overconsumption is replaced by underconsumption and self-consumption. Adobe is used as an alternative sustainable material for this proposal. Qualitative case studies on different eco villages, adobe city and sustainable urban projects are made. This paper discuss how sustainable architecture can facilitate the displaced people by proposing Eco-Village design in Hatay region of Turkey.
