Abstract [eng] The aim of this research is to perform analysis to understand the role of cultural memory on the formation of architectural languages and to develop a model to measure perception of people in their assessment of cultural heritage which can be used in adaptive re-use strategies of built heritage. The objects of this research are the built heritage of the Modern Movement in Ankara and Kaunas. Analysing Modern Movement is valuable and at the same time instructive for this research for understanding the assessment of people of cultural heritage. A better understanding of this phenomenon would allow specialists to proceed from a more informed perspective regarding adaptive re-use of built heritage and comprehend the perception of the society towards it. The spirit of the Modern Movement primarily originates from experiments, therefore, using this built heritage as the subject of the experiments also matches with the ideals of the style. The reason for these cities to be selected is related to the fact that, even though they went through similar process around the same period (Both cities became capital after the WWI), they both embody different cultural and environmental backgrounds. Furthermore, the architectural language of the Modern Movement which was adopted in both cities are not similar. While the language in Kaunas contains more local tendencies and traditional expressions, in Ankara there is a detachment from the elements in architectural language which presents any kind of reference to the pre-republican past. Therefore, focusing on these cities facilitates to understand the formation of different dialects of the Modern Movement in different geographical areas, and furthermore to understand the impact of the traditions and cultural memory on architectural language.
