| description |
The paper describes the research and development of a virtual project based on the
visualisation of measured architectural and construction details and extended research into a heritage
building i.e. a 16th century Islamic complex undertaken as part of an architectural curriculum subject entitled
‘Heritage studies’. The modelling was focused on selected portions of the Suleymaniye complex in Istanbul
Turkey, while the animation and storyboard integrated findings from a research extension of the project which
looked at the link between the social structure of the city with the overall hierarchical nature of the
architecture and planning of the complex. Virtual reality and animation tools were used within the process of
analysing the architecture and construction technology within the background of the social structure of the
Ottoman society during 15th and 16th centuries. The aim was not only to deepen constructional understanding
but to discover the historical and social context which lay behind the development of its city life. The virtual
reality dimension of the study focused on a virtual walkthrough and animation of the overall Suleymaniye
complex and selected parts of the complex such as the madrasa and the ‘imaret’ or soup kitchen. The focus of
the virtual walkthrough is the Süleymaniye Mosque which is surrounded by four medreses, a Darulhadis
Medrese which had specialized in teaching Hadith, a medical school, a primary school, a hospital, a reflection
hall, a caravanserai, shops, bath house, imaret (soup kitchen), caravanserai (inn), darussifa (hospital) or the
hammam covering a 7.3 hectares wide area. Virtual reality was further used to enhance the story board based
on the study on the link between the ‘waqf’ or pious foundations, and development of Ottoman urban life with
the ultimate aim of linking these complexes to the social system and structure of urban society. |
