Due to climate change and environmental problems, the effects of which have started to be experienced more and more in recent years, sustainable approaches in built environments, which have an important share in this issue, have become one of the important research areas. Today's architecture has begun to move further and further away from the concept of "place", and architectural works focused on function, attraction, and cost, which are exempt from the design solutions required by the climatic data of the place ignored, and which envisage the compensation of the expected comfort conditions with mechanical systems based on fossil energy consumption, have been accepted as one of the main responsibilities for the threat of the future. However, analyzing traditional architectural examples, which contain autochthonous knowledge of the place and include characteristic features and unique designs, provides important references for design approaches to sustainable architecture. The design approaches to be developed by evaluating the relevant references provided by many years of experience and the potentials of existing construction technologies are extremely important for the world's future and impose great responsibilities on the discipline of architecture in this regard. Within the scope of these responsibilities, this study, which takes "place" oriented architectural design as a problem area, will systematically analyze the traditional architectural examples of hot arid climate regions, reveal their design philosophies and solution strategies, and then discuss the methods of adaptation to today's architecture through examples.
