Transparency in Midyat Traditional Syriac Houses

Abstract

The concept of transparency is a very important design criterion for the user to perceive the architectural structures and to interpret these structures, thanks to the literal and connotations that the user evokes. In the scope of the article, the concept of transparency in architecture is defined and its relation with architecture and different interpretations in architecture are analyzed. Midyat Traditional Syriac Houses; data obtained from literature reviews, on-site observation and questionnaires with different user maggots were evaluated. Data were obtained with The Shapiro-Wilk Test. Privacy phenomenon and transparency interpretations in architecture shaped within the framework of this phenomenon have been examined in Midyat Syriac Traditional Housing architecture. The reflections of privacy criteria that emerged depending on lifestyles to the architectural structure in terms of transparency have been determined. In the study, it’s understood that the concept of life style and privacy of societies affects the formation of the house in which they live, both in the internal space regulation and in the connection with the outside world, in other words with the ratio of transparency on the fronts. The fact that the subject hasn’t been done before in the literature indicates the contribution of the study to science.
