Culture, which has a historical continuity, expresses an idealized whole of rules. Societies feed on the experiences, traditions and customs that preceded them. Culture doctrines are created, kept alive and shared by the “dominant ideas” of people living in the community. These doctrines are solutions that have been tried for generations many times. When the level of satisfaction provided by traditional solutions to people decreases with changing environment and living conditions over time, culture starts to produce suitable solutions by adapting to new conditions. All these features of the culture represent a holistic system with continuity. The traces of culture are reflected in the most open forms of people's lives. In this sense, it can be said that every place that joins people's lives is an expression of culture. In architecture, cultural elements are seen as components that direct design in both material, form and spatial organizations. Architectural design process is fed not only by tradition, tradition and life, but also from climate, topography and region-specific qualities. The term “regionalism” can be defined as an architectural design approach, which, in parallel with these approaches, aims to develop unique and local solutions for a specific region, culture and climate, while also representing the identity of a particular culture in original ways through architecture. Unlike the international style, in other words, modernist doctrines, “regionalism” takes a stance against universal unification across the world. Critical regionalist approaches, dating back to ancient times, still maintain their effectiveness and importance in architectural discourses.
Within the scope of research, an architectural project, which is prepared for the “Korean War Memorial Area and Visitor Center National Architectural Design Competition” held by Kırklaereli - Luleburgaz Municipality (Turkey) were examined. Luleburgaz Municipality opened a national competition in order to display medals, photos and newspapers belonging to the 241st Infantry Regiment in the city of Luleburgaz. The architectural project designed with the “critical regionalist” approach for the competition. The project has been examined and evaluated comparatively in the context of architectural forms and construction methodologies between Turkish and Korean cultures.
