Throughout history, cities have served as common living spaces, shaped by cultural and social structures. Technological advancements and changes in human behavior have influenced urban dynamics, accelerating transformation processes. Today, increasing population, migration, and construction activities drive rapid urban change, significantly impacting building density and height.
Building facades, beyond their architectural role, are key elements in shaping a city's identity, reflecting cultural and environmental influences. They interact with users through repetition, harmony, contrast, and other design principles, affecting perception and psychology.
This study examines the facades on Kunduracılar Street, the center of Trabzon, through Basic Design Principles such as repetition, harmony, contrast, correspondence, dominance, balance, and unity. By analyzing both historical and modern structures, it highlights the aesthetic dimension of facades. The study aims to provide architects with concrete insights on integrating these principles into early design stages, ensuring harmony with the historic fabric. In this way, it serves as a valuable resource in urban design.
