This research aims to assess the validity of a classification of architectural edifices, based on a new terminology developed for groups of buildings from the Anatolian Seljuk period. These groups of buildings are often combinations of mosques, 'turbe's, 'medrese's and 'darüşşifa's which have distinct design characteristics of the Seljuk period of Anatolia, and which seem to have evolved later into the Ottoman period. In some of these groups of buildings in this period, either two or three different functions are integrated into a single building, or these different functions are solved in several independent buildings which are integrally related. I am inclined to call this group as 'buildings that have combined functions', to differentiate them from others where such combinations are not observed. In some of the buildings covered in this research, like 'medrese-mescid-türbe' combinations, the relationship may seem to be a spontaneous one, but in others like 'mosquedarüşşifa' or 'medrese-darüşşifa-türbe' combinations the relationship between the components appears to be the logical result of a well studied design stage.

A new approach for defining the conservation status of early Republican architecture, case study : primary school buildings in İzmir Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Madran, Emre; Department of Architecture (2010) International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been s...
Understanding the construction technique of Mimar Sinan’s buildings: the case of Lüleburgaz Sokullu Mehmed Paşa Mosque Etyemez Çıplak, Leyla; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2017) This dissertation constructs a comprehensive understanding of the construction techniques applied and developed by Mimar Sinan, which underlie the structural characteristics of 16th century Ottoman Architecture. Conducting a research into the literature on Classical Ottoman Architecture and Mimar Sinan’s buildings, the study distinguishes Sokullu Mehmed Paşa Menzil Complexes in Lüleburgaz, Havsa and Payas among the buildings and complexes as known to be designed by Mimar Sinan. It focuses on the mosques of ...
Teaching Architectural Design Through Creative Practices Lizondo-Sevilla, Laura; Bosch-Roig, Luis; Ferrer-Ribera, Carmen; Alapont-Ramon, José Luis (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-9-25) This article provides investigation details of teaching architectural design as a fundamental part of the architectural discipline. This line of research delves into learning about the most creative action of the architectural production process, design, taking into account that creativity must be complemented by disciplinary training that combines both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Considering these observations, this text provides information about the experience accomplished by four teacher...
Environmental aesthetics of the rural architectural tradition in the Mediterranean highlander settlement: the case study of Ürünlü Kavas, Kemal Reha; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of History of Architecture (2009) This thesis formulates a conceptual framework to account for the rural architectural traditions. The proposal is presented by referring to Ürünlü, a Mediterranean highland settlement in Southwestern Turkey. The thesis' basic assumption is the environmental coherence of the traditional rural culture. Environmental aesthetics provides the conceptual basis through which architectural elements of the environmental coherence are investigated. Environmental aesthetics enhances the inclusive conceptions of "enviro...
An analysis of Architect Sinan's late period mosques Katipoğlu, Ceren; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of History of Architecture (2007) This thesis focuses on the late period mosques of architect Sinan in terms of their structural systems, the relation with their environment, and the identities of their patrons. The links amongst the role of the patron, his or her status in the state, materials used in the mosques, location choice and the spatial distribution of the mosques are researched on the bases of these six late period mosques of Sinan. In this perspective, the social background of the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century is the f...
