Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Architecture

Abstract

Architectural styles are dynamic phenomena in which different walks of life work together to find common ground. Trends, directions, innovations or the waning interest in old styles have led to the emergence of new styles over time. In this way, relationships between culture, influences, region, and time could be established after considering them chronologically and regionally. In this research, the transformations and changes of architectural movements over time and space were examined. In addition, influential historical events are given in relation to the periods in which the movements emerged in order to form an idea. In order to do this, 76 major architectural styles, 4 urban planning principles that influence architecture, 2 philosophical approaches in architectural theory, and 4 significant architectural practices in the world were brought together, listed chronologically, and the geographical locations where they emerged and developed were evaluated. For this reason, architectural movements were examined on the basis of design patterns, locations and time period. However, it was intended to draw attention to important historical events in the periods when architectural movements emerged. In addition, scenarios for possible future architectural styles were created. Keywords: Architectural styles, architectural characteristics, architectural development, trend.
