Abstract :Geography, climate, culture, and technology directly influenced the architectural production of societies. These effects first shaped the production of traditional architecture. After the developments in the industrial revolution, architectural formatting has been open to constant and rapid changes. These changes, dating back to the twentieth century and called modernism, aimed to move away from tradition and design with its forms. Design theorists divide between the view that modernism is directly influenced by tradition and that modernity is an entirely new formation. This research aims to identify the effects of these parameters with the parameters that shape tradition and modernism to shed light on the debates about the effect of modernization. In literature research, the design parameters that can be reached from the past to the present generally do not change in housing structures, and these parameters are included in the concept of environmental sustainability today. Therefore, traditional and modernist design product housing structures have been analyzed through environmental sustainability parameters. Information collected from the literature and selected structures were studied using the comparative analysis method. The results of the analysis will shed light on the discussions about the interaction of traditional and modernist designs with extracts from residents.
