This thesis reviews the general characteristics of rock-cut churches with an inscribed-cross plan in Göreme. These churches, namely Chapel 17, St. Barbara, Çarikli, Karanlik, Elmali, Chapel 25, Chapel 32, Kiliçlar, Bezirhane and Yusuf Koç, date from the ninth to the eleventh century of the Middle Byzantine period. Firstly, this study aims to identify the general features of these churches. It also attempts to examine their liturgical planning. While doing so, architectural developments in the insribed-cross churches in Byzantine Istanbul will also be used for comparison, in order to highlight provincial characteristics in the inscribed-cross churches in Göreme.

Myth, landscape and boundaries : the impact of the notion of sacredness of nature on Greek urbanism and architecture Pınar, Ekin; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of History of Architecture (2006) This thesis focuses on the impact of the notion of holiness of nature in ancient Greek thought and its reflection on urbanism and architecture with respect to the transformations that took place during the archaic period. The archaic period represented most fundamentally a shift from an era where everything was on the move to an era of territorialism which culminated in the establishment of the polis and the Greek temple. This shift was prominent in the sense that it pointed not only to a basic modification...
A CONFLICT OF TWO CIVILISATIONS: THE OTTOMANS AND AN EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY HOLY LEAGUE PLAN Soykut, Mustafa (2010-01-01) The present paper concerns a Holy League plan in the first half of the seventeenth century by the Papacy seen from the perspective of hitherto lesser known archival sources on political history. In order to give the reader a contrasting perspective, the article also focuses on the self-perception and on the general world view of the Ottomans before and after the seventeenth century, and on what sort of measures were taken to counteract Ottoman stagnation beyond the heyday of its power. The present study not...
Multi-functional buildings of the T-type in Ottoman context : network of identity and territorialization Oğuz, Zeynep; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2006) This thesis focuses on the Ottoman buildings with a T-shaped plan and their meanings with respect to the central and centrifugal tendencies in the Ottoman context in the fourteenth, fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The emergence of the multi-functional buildings of the T-type in the Ottoman realm is simultaneous with the burgeoning of a state in the early Ottoman frontier milieu, which is profoundly intermingled with the notion of gaza; whereas the demise of the use of the T-plan is coincident with ...
Roman urban space framed by colonnades : mediating between myth, memory and history in Ephesus Yoncacı, Pelin; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of History of Architecture (2006) A multi-layered analysis on the morphological development of Ephesus in relation to the Temple of Artemis and an investigative wandering through the streets of this city in the era of Roman Empire highlights this thesis characterized by a consistent search for the significance of the notion of “urban armature.” From the standpoint of those who lived at that time, special attention is directed toward the colonnaded avenues as well as to their formal and social impacts within the city fabric. The thesis re-re...
Architectural elaboration of the "public" in the domestic architecture of late antique Anantolia : changes and transformations in the private setting Çonkır, Esra; Özgenel, Lale; Department of History of Architecture (2005) This thesis studies the continuity, change and transformation of the Roman domestic architecture in Asia Minor in late antiquity with reference to the social and political dynamics and the urban context of the period. The sample is chosen from the well-preserved and studied houses in Asia Minor, which provide considerable information and insight into the domestic context of the period. In the light of architectural evidence coming from these houses late antique domestic architecture is discussed with a spec...
