Dome System in Sinan's Mosques

Abstract

Koca Sinan, who was the chief architect during the three sultans of the Ottoman Empire (Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, Sultan Selim II and Sultan Murat III); He produced many works with different typological features such as mosque, madrasah, primary school, hospital, palace, aqueduct.Among these works, the mosque is the type of building that Sinan worked on the most.The structural system of Sinan mosques consists of dome, dome transition elements (pendant, squinch), arches and load-bearing walls. However, Architect Sinan applied multi-support systems with four, six and eight supports in terms of load-bearing system.The aim of this article is to relate some examples of square, hexagonal and octagonal supported support systems (Süleymaniye, Kadırga Sokullu Mehmet Pasha and Edirne Selimiye mosques) applied by Architect Sinan to the dome system.In the article, first of all, the literature research, the dome system in general and the dome technique used by Sinan were explained, then the dome of the mosque examples specified in different support systems were analyzed and the results were compared.
