The ceramic art, which has come to the forefront since the Neolithic Age, has always existed in the historical period as both material and art. While ceramics have been produced as an item of use for needs throughout the ages, today it has a universal feature with its traditional and advanced technology classification for different purposes, providing interdisciplinary unity with its material and formal features, reflecting on the designs in terms of analogy in architectural structures, being used as a building material, coming to the forefront in the artistic production process. Ceramic, whose main raw material is clay; is a basic material where comfort and aesthetics meet in architecture with its breathable and healthy bioclimatic properties that are compatible with technology. Modernity in the field of architecture has started to come to the fore in today's society and brought extraordinary structures to the front of the people. This is seen that visual and plastic arts are used in architectural structures with the combination of many factors such as interdisciplinary interactions, material combinations and technology. Some architects make their projects stronger by using aesthetic elements and alternative materials in effective and magnificent design projects with today's technological possibilities. Since the ceramic material is suitable to be used as a structural member, in projects; It takes its place in architecture as an effective means of expression, with the possibilities brought by material, design, technique and technology. In this research, firstly, the concept of modernity and its reflections on architecture are theoretically discussed. Afterwards, in the modernity period, architectural structures that resemble formalistically with ceramic forms were examined through examples, and how ceramic exterior cladding with artistic surface features were used in buildings in a design dimension was investigated and explained with examples. In this qualitative research process, the interaction of innovative architectural designs with ceramic art was analyzed analogously.
