Abstract

Architectural performance in the means of architecture that reacts to its environment has its strong background in traditional oriental architecture. In the same time, it is perceived as a necessity of our future. Architectures can regulate its internal and external climate and atmospheres in dependency on its material properties and design. In the time of extreme conditions of climatic change, we need to generate environment friendly as well as habitable environments in Europe that can gain from previous generations developed in oriental cultures. Within EU, we shouldn’t ask what we lose by accepting different cultures, but how can these cultures enrich us. In the search for the new identity of refugees settled in Europe, the question of integration is equal to the question of updating the existing by the potentials of previous home culture. The workshop result used the methodology of Systems Oriented Design (http://systemsorienteddesign.net/), namely GIGA-mapping, for mapping the socio-cultural as well as environment-performative potentials in refugees’ homeland, or oriental in general, architecture. The hygroscopicity of wood or certain stone, natural ventilation, etc. has been widely used feature in the researched location. In the time this performance has been forgotten by modern culture people who experienced them in everyday life can save us from the worst harms of coming environmental changes.
