Kil ve çamurdan geleneksel malzemeler kullanılan çağdaş yapı teknikleri

In this study, the extent of the possibility of using clay in contemporary architecture was addressed. To achieve the objectives of the research, the study was divided into three sections, which are the forms of using clay in contemporary architecture, the benefits of using clay in contemporary architecture, and the disadvantages of using clay in contemporary architecture. The research methodology was based on collecting the literature in sections related to the topic. Then the Delphi method was applied by adopting two rounds to determine the most important factors for the use of clay in contemporary architecture. After that, in-depth interviews were conducted with three experts and the results of the literature, the results of the Delphi method, and the results related to the interviews were compared to reach the final results. The study affirmed that clay can employed in contemporary architecture efficiently in different forms : integrating clay with 3d printing technique, rammed earth structures ,compressed blocks , terracotta panels and plasters solutions .Also, the study revealed that the most benefits of clay utilization in contemporary architecture are : durability of the building ,saves energy ,reduce co2 emission, save energy ,control heat indoor the building ,economic , achieves sustainability in addition to Aesthetic aspect .While the disadvantages of clay utilization in contemporary architecture are : poor earthquake resistance , lack of bearing capacity to high loading ,lack of regulations and standards , lack of knowledge of mud architecture , lack of skilled labor in earth construction . The study recommended to conduct more researches to innovate clay utilization in contemporary architecture by investigate integrating clay with other materials help to enhance clay properties.
