These are the two theorists that first coined the term Critical Regionalism?

Who are Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre

The main idea of this article 

What is the specificities of culture, place, tectonics, and tactile experience, otherwise the built environment will only consist of functional entities. 

100

This local material was used primarily by Tümertekin to design the B2 and SM houses.

What is stone?

100

In the B2 and SM houses the poetics of architecture are realized through natural light in these ways

What is through handling natural light in an elegant and controlled way? 

100

This is what "defamiliarization" means in Critical Regionalism.


What is presenting familiar elements in an unfamiliar way to enhance their perception?

200

These two methods can be used to criticize regionalism.

What is investigation whether the regionalism tradition is legitimate and the method of defamiliarization?

200

 Which sense is central to the concept of tactility in architecture?

The sense of touch

200

This is how the B2 house reflects its place in Büyükhüsun Village.


What is the use of stone, a material commonly found in the village, and by framing views of the Aegean Sea

200

These poetic quality is achieved in the SM house’s pergola design

What is the play of light and shadow through a wire mesh filled with stones?

200

This method highlights the valuable characteristics of an environment that often goes unnoticed in daily life by using familiar in an unfamiliar way.

What is defamiliarization and estrangment

300

This was discussed in three of the six resistance points.

What is concept of culture?

300

This is the reason that the village and the SM House have different experiences

What is the significant difference is the street of the village is a public scape while it becomes a private space at the SM House 

300

This architectural feature of the SM house separates the private space from the public village streets while still reflecting the local craftsmanship and materiality of Büyükhüsun Village.

What is the stone retaining wall?

300

Tümertekin use the gap between walls and floors in the B2 house to enhance the tectonic experience in this way

By using it for electrical installations, creating a seamless and functional architectural detail

300

Tumertekin uses stone to gain a different meaning which creates this feeling.

what is while one walks in the streets of the village through the familiar stone walls, all of a sudden a different stone texture is encountered. This discrepancy leads to momentary hesitations, going beyond the ordinary?

400

These are potential tensions between dichotomies in a critical approach.

What is traditional and contemporary, old and new, universal and regional, natural and artificial, visual and tactile, myth and reality, and modern and post modern

400
Tactility does this for individuals. 

What is such an approach allows individuals to have unique experience of their own, which makes tactility an important point to understand the built environment as well as buildings themselves. 

400

This concept in Critical Regionalism describes the relationship between buildings and their location, focusing on how they interact with their specific surroundings.


What is place and context?

400

The poetic similarities of the B2 and SM houses in their assembly 

What is the B2 House, the meeting of concrete surfaces with stone, together with the warmth and rurality of the reeds and in the SM House, the stone walls filling the gaps in between the steel structures not in a customary way but in a tectonic proficiency?

400

Architects Tzonis and Lefaivre criticize regionalism in two ways

What is the first is to investigate whether the regionalist tradition is legitimate, and the second is to use the method of defamiliarization?

500

These concepts transform the duality of universal and local in architecture.

What is Location, context, culture, and time?

500

Tumertekin does what during construction that are realities of the site and relevant to tactility 

What is usage of physical and perceptional elements of the site and local settlement. What are topography, view, local materials, light and climate 

500

Which philosopher's idea of "belonging" influenced Frampton's concept of place? (Extra point if you get the first name)

Martin Heidegger

500

The poetic effect of architecture lies in the

  art of construction.

500

This architectural element in the SM house demonstrates defamiliarization by transforming from a vertical to a horizontal use

What is the stone that moves from wall to roof?
