Surrounding Wall of Mimar Sinan’s Mosques: Components and Construction Techniques

Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the original characteristics of Mimar Sinan's mosques' surrounding walls in Istanbul by examining their material, construction technique, and formation properties and also to document their construction technology for conservation. The surrounding walls, that define the boundaries of the structures, have been used in civil architecture for security and privacy purposes. In monumental architecture, it was used to determine the land borders without interrupting the relationship of the structure with its periphery and also to define the spiritual boundary according to some researchers. In the first stage of the study, the location of the surrounding walls and changes in the plan schemes in the historical process were examined with archival documents and its components explained. In the next stage, the components of nine Sinan mosque's windowed surrounding walls and their relations with each other were examined depending on their material, size, and shape, and presented with visuals. As a result, it is seen that the formation properties of the surrounding walls are differentiated depending on their location, topography, visual concern, and interventions. However, their construction techniques, materials, and components are similar.
