Understanding the Transformation of Domestic Architecture Through the Novel “Cevdet Bey and His Sons”

Abstract

Domestic architecture is a collective product shaped by social networks of individuals, families and societies. But the literature of Turkish housing history, examines housing generally through physical, economic or political factors. Reason for such state can be associated with the difficulty in collecting social data from the past due to the absence of witnesses and tangible materials from the past. Benefiting from sources of other disciplines may give opportunity in obtaining clues about the social life of a previous period. Literature, which contains information about the social life of the past, is one of the disciplines that can contribute to the field of architecture. In this study, 2006 Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk’s novel “Cevdet Bey and His Sons”, which portrays three different periods with three different housing typologies, is examined. Texts are analyzed over nine factors that İlhan Tekeli (1996) claims to be effective in domestic architecture. When the details obtained from the novel are combined with the literature of housing history, a comprehensive perspective is built upon domestic architecture.
