Suggested Citation: Dogan, K.R. (2017). A project model in interior architecture: From patterns to spaces. Global Journal of Arts Education. 7(2), 40-46 Received December 21, 2016; revised March 26, 2016; accepted May 23, 2016.

Abstract Dating back to 3000 BC, Alaaddin Hill is located right in the heart of Konya province, which used to be the capital of Seljuk Civilization. More than 60 years wedding halls built on Alaaddin Hill is hardly ever used due to the reason that cars are unable to reach this area because there is an ongoing landscaping for almost four years. This building has become a problem for the city, also getting older every year. In this aspect, this building is revised as Museum of Seljuk Civilizations and projects are prepared to re-function it within the scope of course name Interior Architecture Project-7 by Seljuk University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design during fall semester of 2015-2016 education year.

  • Opening Speech
    II. National Symposium On The Aegean Islands, 2-3 July 2004, Gökçeada - Çanakkale OPENING SPEECH Ali KURUMAHMUT Prime Ministry of Navigation Counsellorship Marine Transportation General Manager The Aegean Sea lies between the Turkish and the Greek main lands, as well as between the Morea peninsular and the southwestern edges of the Anatolian coasts, with the extension of the islands of Çuha, Küçük Çuha, Girit, Kaşot, Kerpe and Rodos that constitute its outer natural boundaries. In terms of the geographical structure, the Aegean, a semi-closed sea, has geological and geo-morphological characteristics peculiar to itself: it has about 1800 islands, islets and rocks of various sorts, as well as a number of geographical formations, scattered al over the Sea. There is little wonder that all these characteristics make the Aegean Sea a special one. The Aegean dispute between Greece and Turkey has been complicated for a number of reasons: for instance, there are many islands in the Aegean that Turkey ceded to Greece through international treaties. And these islands lying in the natural extension of the Turkish mainland surround Anatolia from north to the south. But Athens makes claims of sovereignty over many islands, islets, and rocks though Ankara never ceded any of them to Greece officially. The most obvious and famous case would be the Kardak rocks crisis that erupted between Turkey and Greece at the beginning of 1996. These complications make the Aegean a sea that is of special importance among the seas of the world. It is possible to divide the Aegean Islands into five categories in terms of their geographical locations, geological and geo-morphological characteristics, the historical perspectives of the sovereign powers to which they belonged, the manner in which the sovereignty over them was determined through international treaties, as well as their importance for geo-political and strategic purposes.

  • SINOP Ingilizce Kapak.Indd
    It is believed that Sinop, lying at the northernmost tip of a peninsula extending from the Anatolian landmass into the Black Sea, derived its name from the Queen of the Amazons, Sinope, who lived there once upon a time. According to another story, Zeus, the King of Gods was so enchanted by the beauty of the nymph Sinope, the daughter of the River God Asopus that he settled her in the earthly locale commensurate with her beauty and the city was named after her. With its history going back six millennia, its rich cultural fabric woven by the several civilisations it has nurtured, its pristine natural beauty and clear blue sea, Sinop, home equally of the philosopher Diogenes and the famed women warriors, the Amazons, remains unforgettable after you leave its shore. 2 Historical Heritage of Sinop Sinop owes its diverse cultural richness to its beautiful natural harbour-perfectly sheltered and calm, a haven from the tempestuous Black Sea. The strategic importance of Sinop Harbour brought Sinop to the fore as a centre of trade across millennia. The city’s strategic importance, however, lead to successive conquests, and each civilization that made Sinop its own adorned the city according to its own fashion, building fortresses, churches, temples, and mosques LQLWVYDULRXVTXDUWHUV7KHVLJQLÀFDQFHRI the harbour still lingers, although the galleys of Antiquity and the Middle Ages have been replaced with the modern sailing yachts and ÀVKLQJERDWVEXVWOLQJDWGDZQ'XULQJWKH season, Sinop Harbour is one of the most preferred stops for yacht tours, including KAYRA (The Black Sea Yacht Rally), and also hosts national sailing regattas.
