The vernacular adobe architecture in Turkey is widely observed in the Southeast, East and Central Anatolia. Adobe, which its historical background goes back to the 13th century B.C. is still applied with various traditional techniques as a continuation of our old work of art. The techniques that are applied can be gathered in two groups as, massive and timber framed adobe systems. The vernacular adobe architecture which still exists has an architectural value of its own. Raising the quality standard of the material and adding various functions to the living texture should be seen as two important effects in preserving this value.
