The usage of adobe as filling and sustainable material in construction of traditional houses of Safranbolu

Traditional adobe construction in Safranbolu, Turkey, offers sustainable housing solutions that align with global goals for safe and inclusive urban development. This study highlights the enduring use of timber-frame and mud-brick (adobe) buildings, which meet basic human needs while maintaining ecological balance. Unlike modern materials, adobe provides thermal comfort, breathability, and resilience to environmental changes, making it a viable alternative in contemporary architecture. The research emphasizes the importance of preserving historical material techniques for sustainable urban planning, offering insights that could guide future construction practices in harmony with nature.
