Symbolic Approaches in the Development Perspective of Turkish Wood Art, An Overview of Seljuk Interior Designs
Abstract
Culture is reflected in many areas of life. Symbols are culturally significant and emotionally comprehensible representations. Culture is reflected in the spaces that meet the most basic needs of human beings and are an application area of art. In this parallelism, Turkish wood carving art has been handled within the boundary of interior design. Within the scope of qualitative research, it is seen that Turkish wood art developed during the Seljuk period and has reached the present day. The symbolic depiction of the foundation laid with the Seljuks in wood art is examined. The study aims to examine the progress of wood art in relation to interior design and its expression of cultural values. In addition, the symbolic equivalents of the values of Turkish culture in interior design are examined. The findings suggest that Turkish art is preserved and carried forward through interior design.
