Looking at the processes of human history, it is known that in pre-agricultural communities, people started with hunting and gathering and adopted the nomadic life in order to continue their lives and meet their basic needs such as eating and drinking. One of the most important reasons for the prevalence of the nomadic life is that the climate and geographical conditions affect the meeting of basic needs such as food and shelter. Scientists divide human history into three parts as pre-agricultural, agricultural and industrial society. The nomadic life, which prevailed in the pre-agricultural period, gradually transitioned to the agricultural society, that is, the transition to settled life. With the transition to settled life, historical, social and political developments that led people to work and produce in order to meet their basic needs and raise their living standards, the mentality of people has also moved towards rationality. With the transition to the industrial society, these developments gained momentum and fast production and consequently fast consumption, consequently consumption society, emerged. The need for resources in terms of raw materials for production has led to a cultural shaping of the lifestyle shaped according to this need. In this study, the issue of cultural-regional degeneration that has emerged in parallel with the historical developments with the effect of globalization, especially in the world that is developing rapidly after the industrial society today, will be examined. The aim of the study is to evaluate the periods in which the architectural culture was passed down from generation to generation with its architectural features and to investigate how it reflects on today's architecture. Although this study is a literature research, it includes the evaluation of architecturalstructureswithcasestudies.
