HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPLEMENTATION OF TERZI BABA MOSQUE AS A SYMBOLIC STRUCTURE/VALUE OF ERZINCAN

Öz

In Anatolia, especially in the mosques built after the 20th century, the search for different forms from the old periods and modern designs that change in terms of architecture come to the fore. Terzi Baba Mosque, which has become one of the symbols of Erzincan province in Eastern Anatolia, is a structure that can be considered in this sense. The project construction of Terzi Baba Mosque, designed by the architect Danyal Tevfik Çiper (1932 – 2008), started in 1990. Its foundation was laid in 1991 and it was opened to worship in 2002. The building, which has a congregation capacity of approximately 7000 people, has taken its place in the literature as the largest mosque in Eastern Anatolia. The aim of the study is to reveal the architectural features of the symbolic mosque of Erzincan, which was designed by Tevfik Çiper, who designed many different and modern building designs at the time it was made, and which was not adopted by the public at first, but which is appreciated by both the local people and those who visit from other cities. As a research method, data analysis obtained as a result of on-site observation, spatial analysis and periodic comparisons was used. Although it has been the subject of several studies and theses, these researches remained superficial, application details and spatial transformations were not discussed. In this sense, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature on the architectural construction features of the mosque and the differences in practice.
