Reassessing the Composite Morphology of Mamluk Cities
Öz
The Industrial Revolution deeply shook the Ottoman Empire, which was striving to preserve its traditional production structure. In this context, factories began to be built in the nineteenth century as a new production model. Dakik (flour) factories, which became prominent in the food sector, gradually replaced traditional flour mills powered by human, animal, water and wind energy by producing more efficiently through steam power. This study aims to examine Ottoman industrial architecture in the Province of Edirne during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Documents containing architectural drawings identified in the Ottoman Archives of the Presidency of the State Archives were examined from an art historical perspective. Within this scope, thirteen flour factories were identified in the districts of Edirne, Dedeağaç, Gümülcine and Kırkkilise. Their spatial-functional relationships and architectural styles were analyzed through plans and elevation drawings. The findings were compared with similar flour factories in Istanbul, Izmir and Skopje, revealing how flour production technology was reflected in architecture. These thirteen factories, which had not previously been the subject of academic research, have been introduced to the literature through original architectural drawings. The study demonstrates that Ottoman industry not only followed technological developments in the West but also sought to create a distinctive industrial identity by combining modern approaches with local elements.
