REFLECTIONS OF THE “NAKED BRICK STYLE” IN SELJUK ANATOLIA

Öz

Brick was preferred as a building material in central Anatolia  but more so in Mesopotamia and its environs from the Neolithic period onwards, but its use both for building and for architectural ornament was not explored until the tenth century. Although not for certain, it is assumed that during the tenth the structural and deorative possibilities of the material were discovered somewhere in  Turkestan, Khurasan, Ghazna or Central Iran and the “naked brick”  or “exposed brick” style matured. The Turks who migrated to Anatolia  during the second half of the eleventh century transmitted this style of building to Anatolian Seljuk architecture and employed it besides stone in a selective approach, but with a new enthusiasm leading to endless trials and  new creations until the early fourteenth century.
