Today, university campuses are not only accepted as educational areas but also as integrated living environments that support social and cultural interaction by meeting the psychological and physiological needs of users. The first campus designs prioritized integration with nature, open green spaces and environmental harmony, reflecting the therapeutic effect of nature on human well-being. These universities, which were built using traditional materials such as stone, wood and glass, processed in harmony with the local climate and cultural context, ensured aesthetic integrity and structural durability, creating a strong bond between modern education and historical continuity. However, in recent years, technological developments and rapid construction have increased the use of contemporary materials. Although these approaches meet the needs and standards, they often ignore the unique landscape character and traditional campus identity. Designing campuses that respond to modern needs while remaining in harmony with the natural and cultural context is essential to preserve spatial identity and increase the well-being of users. In this study, the spatial, functional and aesthetic differences between traditional campuses shaped by landscapebased design approaches and today's campuses are evaluated from the perspective of landscape architecture through visual and literature-based analyses.
