COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF NATURAL LIGHT IN THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD WOODEN HYPOSTYLE MOSQUES OF ANATOLIA

Abstract

Light, which is indispensable for human life, is also a necessity for the perception of space. The design, color, texture of the space, that is, its perception in the human mind is possible through light. Light, which makes life possible, is used in different ways in the interior space, providing diversity in terms of design. In Islamic religious places of worship, natural light is utilized to appeal to the spiritual feelings of the users within the space fiction. Natural light is divided into functional light, sacred light and poetic light according to the way it is used in the interior, and light types provide different space atmospheres. Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to comparatively analyze the use of natural light in Islamic religious places of worship. In this context, 5 mosques, which were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023, were included in the study as a sample. The medieval wooden pillared mosques, which were included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, were selected as a sample because they are recognized by the whole world and are the common heritage of the world. The use of natural light in the mosques considered in the study was analyzed in line with the light types and the parameters of duration of effect, function, light distribution, focus, and light quality that differ according to light types. In the study, it was concluded that functional light was used in Afyonkarahisar Great Mosque, Ankara Arslanhane Mosque and Kastamonu Mahmut Bey Mosque, while sacred light was used in Beyşehir Eşrefoğlu Mosque and poetic light was used in Sivrihisar Great Mosque. It has been observed that the types of light used in mosques create different space atmospheres in the interior.
