ANALYSIS OF SPATIAL ORGANIZATION IN ARCHITECTURAL WORKS OF KEMALEDDIN BEY USING SPACE SYNTAX: A CASE STUDY OF THE 4. VAKIF HAN

Öz

Architect Kemaleddin was a renowned figure in the First National Architecture movement and is widely known for his remarkable structures that combined Ottoman architectural elements with modern construction techniques. One of his notable creations was IV. Vakıf Han, a commercial building that was constructed using the first steel frame system. The building has continued to serve various functions, most recently as a hotel, and stands as a testament to Turkey's architectural history. In this research, the spatial organization of IV. Vakıf Han was analyzed using the Space Syntax method to highlight the interaction between users and space. Analyses were conducted using the Syntax 2D software and architectural floor plans to obtain visual and numerical data that formed the basis of the study. The findings suggest that spaces with high user circulation foster greater social interaction and communication, and are the most dominant spaces within the general planning. Additionally, commercial spaces with high integration values are heavily accessed, and their placement in the planning is appropriate. The study emphasizes the importance of protecting historical structures and conducting more research to gain greater insight into the spatial organization of Architect Kemaleddin's structures and the social structures of that period. With the evolution of the social structure of Turkish cities, new spatial requirements emerged, leading to the adoption of innovative construction techniques and design approaches. This period of Turkey's architectural history was marked by a fusion of traditional and modern elements, which can be seen in Architect Kemaleddin's structures.
