Özet:The present thesis focuses on “green awards” in architecture. It aims at searching out the principles of “green architecture” through a comparative analysis of leading awards in this domain. In order to represent the essence of the green movement in general, the process which it passed through the decades in response to the existing impacts of human activities on the environment is first reviewed. The concepts of green, ecological and sustainable architecture are discussed in this context. Then the international award programs established to promote environmentally appropriate practices in architectural design and construction are studied. Four awards selected among others are analyzed in detail with a special focus on the evaluation criteria. The criteria are compared with each other with the objective to find out recurrent parameters of green architecture in different awards, and a set of criteria is obtained from the comparative analysis of the awards. In the fourth chapter, case studies selected among the nominated projects in the awards are analyzed in detailed by using the evaluation criteria obtained. As a result of this study on the green awards and selected projects of best practice, the principles which define a green building or project are discussed in the conclusion.
