“Traces of Modernism in The Mosque Architecture of The Republican Period; The Example of Isparta and Burdur”

Abstract

With the proclamation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 as a newly-founded state, the idea of enhancing national consciousness throughout the country became dominant. With the continuation of the past values and the emergence of novel ones, there has been a transition period from a mosque architecture style with a traditional identity to a mosque architecture with a modern identity. Some 'traces' in mosques built during this process are included as 'traces of modernism' in mosque architecture. Within the scope of the study, the mosque structures that are in the minority compared to the number of mosques built together with the Republic and carry modern traces are examined. This study is one that has not been dealt with before in the cities of Isparta and Burdur in terms of subject, scope and method. Purpose of the study is to reveal the formation features of the modern period mosque examples in the cities of Isparta and Burdur and to preserve them as a modern period heritage. In this context, the city of Isparta and the city of Burdur are mentioned, and the concept of 6 mosques with the architecture in the Republican period are discussed. In the study; Şengül Öymen Gür's space paradigms were used and architectural identity analyzes of mosques were made along with basic design criteria. In the light of verbal and visual data obtained as a result of literature research and fieldwork, a template of mosque structures was created. The architectural identities of the buildings were revealed through plan, facade and structural analyzes. As a result of the study; attention was aimed to be drawn to the modern period in which limited examples of mosque architecture were presented and a contribution was made to the accumulation of written works about the city.
