Topkapi Palace Background and History-Part 7

Topkapi Palace today, it is possible to understand the environment and a very small part of the public domain as original as a museum. The time of damage, destruction (by fire) and the distribution of many of the original structure (with the new building) has come. However, based on the order of the court triple integration, the original spatial organization of the 15th century, segregation and the palaces, ceremonial houses, on the functional requirements to define and has remained fairly stable.

 

Individual needs, the social, functional group, body, class, since it is determined by modeling the system occupy, and the uniform has evolved around a small courtyard to the formation of clusters, self-attached. These poles, however, is not isolated, linked to an autonomous microcosm of the state where it is fully integrated, which is adapted to reflect the court created.

It defines the methodology of this book. Successive stages of transformation for its analytical application for reconsideration and, by showing the spatial hierarchy of the palace, past and present state of our unique world of the palace and seek to expose Felicity.

During the reign of Mehmed II (or complete) of all the palaces built during the connection, a well-defined public, semi-public, private and located in areas, each based on the principle of showing the same space. The court, not the shape of the field, organized by hierarchical considerations are determined by the precise geometric or orthogonal principles. The number of courts flexibility: if the place in Edirne, but there were at least two, perhaps as much as 09. Only five of them, however, specified under the specific Palais Maiden (square) or Taslik the court was given.

In their historical development in both Eastern and Western cultures of the Ottoman Empire existed long before the experiment, revolves around the palace courtyard. "Units of space" Given the court and the principles of spatial organization often consists of a common official language is integrated implemented as both the separation of spatial constraints.

Court between the wall and with a clear and sharp transition between them is a way of representing the field. Space system of the palace (or for that matter, other structures) is a representation of the human system. In this context, the rules (manners, hierarchies, avoidance) via the (control) or arranged in a hierarchical interaction and undesirable behavior is avoided, populated by different groups to create a balance of power in space (zone ) in which the construction can be enhanced by the creation of a group ID for forming the "system" will be able to create, integrate into the interview.

This court, the Forbidden City and Beijing, Delhi, Akra, Fatehpur Sirk, and the Alhambra Palace - a legend of all that is formed around a similar system of organization / impressive exhibition space is for this reason . Developed around the traditional system of joint action, because the philosophical vision of the absolute rule of the management framework and housing, they reflect the same basic principles of natural resources and that you are.

Although originally intended the residence of the Ottoman Empire, the palace is the transformation and development of new space in Harlem that despite a "palace women" as important, Eski Saray in Istanbul. This palace is the residence of the Sultan of close relatives (mother, wife and children), first served as the residence of the plural form of all the monarchs, after folk women died. It serves as a model for outdoor and formal of the new palace harem in this way.

In the position of Chief Planner of the capital of his, Mehmed II, the organizational philosophy of their own organizations related to each other, order and ritual (ethics, morals, and ultimately will include a traditional ceremony was) and all agencies to provide such integrated structure, the physical environment of the capital located in the specified area.

Kanu name of Mehmed II (literally "Book of the Law") is a world of his future empire in principle - "Third Rome" are made that the circuit diagram. However, all parameters are described in detail that seems be something done to be placed in the context of cities and affairs of the organization, for the Sultan is not clearly known, the functions can be performed on the basis of a known duality assumptions waves.

He was chosen as the place where his palace was originally the city thoroughly, and later (at the time) chose to move to separate the relatively remote and isolated. His motive in this, can not be precisely identified. It is a separate domain for the new palace for ceremonial or administrative functions of the public or private property as a residence (or internal) to examine or predict the main features?

Another problem, related, and unresolved are designed to meet the most advanced concepts of military architecture of the day, construction Yedikule, why now only used as a granary of the empire. How do you see it for what purpose the original structure? Contrary to build his field of contemporary Kulliye Fatih (multifunctional) with a clear purpose and objective to be in, are commonly prescribed: the civil service will be provided by the state are in school classes, the technical contribution must be trained.

On the back of Edirne, construction began in 1447 a new palace on the banks of the Tunca river. The Istanbul Mehmet II for 4 and had already occupied the throne for six years from 1457 was not completed at that time.

Istanbul, when the official capital of the Empire said Eski Saray, however, we get a status of residence of the monarch. Mehmed, the new him, the two seas for his ambition and poor fit, as indicated in the title of the splendor that "it was clear that more needs to build palaces and leaders at the time, he lived in continent until the mid-1470."

In a very short period of only 10 years, the palace was constructed of four successively. It was an unusual space that the tradition of the Ottoman court and probably good - the social roots of the evolutionary process, which was more than anything else to determine. Seat of government and residence of the emperor's palace these stages of development, the development of concepts that the royal palace to determine what should be obvious. Factors interact in this duality, in the early 18th century converted into a mutual influence on the spatial and functional components of the palace of the Ottoman Empire. This stage of development can be summarized as follows.

And changes in the stages of Edirne Yeni Saray different periods of implementation and ongoing expansion has led to the development of housing and administrative units of the same name so often in the private and hidden.

Serebyi Musa (1411) short reign, on the ground of the palace, in the form of a square, was protected by a wall 15 meters high fortress of the city, he walks. We have architectural features and the formal organization or functional information of the palace a little more.

This is the palace of the existing - and reconfigure the new or original Kutahya Amasya, it was the custom of the Ottoman empire for princes of the line to act as governor in cities like Manisa, which is Such a resident built place for them.
