N2  - This study was conducted in hope of increasing the awareness of Cypriots on encaustic tiles which are one of the most important elements of architectural heriate and thus help to protect this heritage from disappearing. Because of modernisation and developments in interior decorating, encaustic tiles have started to be forgotten. In this study, literature researches havebeen carried out about many things from interior decorating to encaustic tiles. Photographs were taken in houses where encaustic tiles have been used. Houses in North Cyprus were investigated with data from received speculations and with random sampling. The results were used to make canvas works and prepare an exhibition. Results indicated two important measures to protect this architectural heritage from disappearing in the face of developed technology and the changed world as in previous historical times. One of these measures is increasing the awareness of public on the importance of encaustic tiles and the other is increasing the number of firms producing encaustic tiles and providing their sustainability.
