This study holistically examines the historical evolution of dwelling and its significant key turning points in the literature within a rigorous, systematic framework. It reveals periodic and structural dynamics through which dwelling is addressed, and fundamental factors driving these transformations. It also traces the evolution of housing in the historical process using Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Systematic Literature Review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. A Scopus database search yielded 204 publications for analysis after applying selection criteria. The coding process was structured as data-based and inductive throughout the analysis. Five fundamental turning points were determined in dwelling: (1) transition to sedentarization, (2) industrialization and urban transformations, (3) welfare state interventions, (4) neoliberal reforms and privatization, and (5) the effects of climate, energy, and health crises. Main themes from the SLR are classified under socio-spatial formations, policies, and crises. Housing, a basic human need, continuously transforms over time with environmental conditions, social structures, economic systems, political regimes, and crises. The study intersects with a variety of fields, including architecture, urbanism, urban design, architectural history, social policy, environmental sciences, and housing research. Its contribution is a comprehensive, holistic, and interdisciplinary analysis of dwelling transformations centered on critical turning points and thematic clusters.
