    A Method for the Analysis of Lot- House Relations in Ottoman Housing Patter
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Saf, Hayriye Oya; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Defining the lot - house relations in the Ottoman housing pattern is significant for determining the authentic settlement characteristics of the pattern. In this context, this study, based on a morphological analysis method, claims the necessity of analyzing the pattern in terms of house-lot related parameters. Geographic Information System (GIS) software has been used for the visualization of analysis results. The aim is to create a set of rules between the house and lot. The inferences to be obtained as a result of this study can be used as a design guide in the field, in which method is to be applied for creating a conservation plan for a project. The study area selected was Edirne Kaleiçi Region. The method was created through a three-phase system. The variables were specified in the first phase; and then analyses that would display the structural relations were determined. The implementation and evaluation phase was the third phase of the method. As a conclusion of examining the lot - house relations within the parameters set, the thesis has identified the morphological relations with respect to the main plan types, sub plan types and lots. On the condition that this method is applied in other cities, it would be possible to comment more on the lot - house relations for the Ottoman house pattern.

    Architectural Characteristics and Construction Techniques of Domes in a Group of Ottoman Baths
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Reyhan, Kader; İpekoğlu, Başak
    In Ottoman bath architecture, domes adjoined in varied numbers and sizes are structural element ensuring dynamic superstructure adjustment exterior and fascinating spatial features involving the interior lighting elements. The examination of cause-effect relationship in the original architectural and constructional characteristics of domes, the main elements of dynamic superstructure adjustment, is significant in terms of pointing out the retention features of construction details. In addition, informed knowledge for the purpose of contributing to conservation works of the baths is necessary to focus on in this dissertation. The aim of the dissertation is to identify the original morphological characteristics, construction techniques and use of materials and to investigate the relationship between architectural and constructional characteristics that involve span, height, thickness, bond types, the number and rows of oculi, the type of transition elements and the height of transition element and the exterior supporting elements of the dome. In this context, the domes of the studied baths were examined in term of construction techniques in superstructure integrality with their supporting elements. In this content; the original morphological characteristics, construction techniques and the use of materials on the Ottoman domes with their supporting elements, transition elements and frame of the domes from outside were examined by the use of conventional method through field survey and were studied in the framework of cause-effect relationships. In addition, statistical analysis methods were used and evaluated in order to examine the relationships between architectural and constructional characteristics of domes. This dissertation is significant in terms of contributing to cover a lack of knowledge in construction systems of domes and transition elements of the public baths for the purpose of constitution of systematic knowledge in leading protection and conservation decisions.
