A Design Analysis of the Relationship Between Form, Structure and Motif in Maraş Aba: The Case of the Yedi Sandıklı Köprülü-Direkli Aba
Öz
Aba, one of the distinctive indicators of cultural identity, is a traditional outer garment that has been used for centuries in and around Kahramanmaraş. With its natural-fiber-based narrow weaving technique, structural construction based on the combination of alt şah–üst şah and motif composition formed during the weaving process, aba is a holistic design object that, in addition to its functional characteristics, also possesses formal and structural characteristics. In this respect, there is a distinct relationship between the production technique and the formal and structural characteristics of aba. This study aims to examine the relationship between form, structure and motif in Maraş Abası through the example of the Yedi sandıklı köprülü-direkli aba using a design analysis approach. A qualitative method was adopted in the study; measurements were taken from the examined aba, pattern drawings were prepared using the Optitex computer-aided pattern-making program and the weaving pattern reports and motif composition were digitally created and evaluated in accordance with design principles. The findings indicate that, in the examined Yedi sandıklı köprülü-direkli aba, the visual quality of aba does not derive solely from the motifs formed during the weaving process; rather, the relationships among motifs, empty spaces, directions and densities within the sections constituting the garment also contribute to the formation of its formal integrity. The placement of motifs and their visual distribution across the alt şah, üst şah, şak and kol sections of the garment were evaluated in accordance with design principles such as repetition, rhythm, balance, contrast and symmetry. This evaluation demonstrates that considering the formal and structural characteristics of the examined aba together in terms of design principles provides a different perspective for explaining the visual organization of the traditional garment. Consequently, it was concluded that motifs can be considered not merely as surface ornamentation but also as design components associated with the formal and structural organization of the garment. In this respect, the study contributes to the reconsideration of traditional garments within the framework of design principles and craft morphology.
