Özet:

 This study investigates the presence of an art-architectural theory in Ottoman mosques. Due to the insufficiency of historical sources, the aim of this study is to discover the fundamental principle of art and architectural theory, which is the system of ratio-proportion, by utilising sources from the mathematical sciences of the period. The central focus of this research is design theory and continuity in the Edirne Selimiye Mosque, which holds a significant place in the identity of Ottoman architecture. To confirm the validity of this approach, the mosque examples were analysed for temporal and dimensional differences and structural variations. In this context, initially, ratio values in one and two dimensions were determined in the interiors of the mosques. Based on this data, the focus was placed on the sources and approaches related to mathematical sciences theorical geometry, arithmetic, algebra, and applied geometry found in the Ottoman palace library, which can be associated with architectural theory, in order to analyse the principles of ratio and proportion. Thus, proving the existence of a fundamental theoretical principle in Ottoman architectural design for the first time, a new perspective has been added to the subject.

 Bu çalışma, Osmanlı camilerinde takip edilmiş bir sanat-mimarlık teorisinin mevcudiyetini araştırmaktadır. Tarihi kaynakların yetersizliğinden ötürü dönemin matematik bilimlerine ait kaynaklardan yararlanarak sanat ve mimarlık teorisinin temel ilkesi olan oran-orantı sisteminin keşfi hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmanın odak noktasını ise Osmanlı mimarlığının kimliğinde önemli bir yer teşkil eden Edirne Selimiye Camiindeki tasarım kuramı ve sürekliliği oluşturur. Bu yaklaşımın geçerliliğini teyit edebilmek içinse, cami örneklerinde; dönem ve boyut değişiklikleri ile yapısal farklılıklar incelemeye tabii tutulmuştur. Bu minvalde öncelikle camilerin iç mekanlarında tek ve iki boyutlu oran değerleri saptanmıştır. Bu verilere dayanarak, oran ve orantı prensibinin çözümlenmesinde Osmanlı saray kütüphanesinde bulunan ve mimarlık teorisiyle ilişkili olduğu düşünülen matematik ilimlere hendese, hesap, cebir ve mesâha ait kaynaklara ve yaklaşımlara odaklanılmıştır. Böylece, Osmanlı mimarlık tasarımında ilk kez temel kuramsal ilkenin varlığı ispatlanarak, konuya yeni bir perspektif kazandırılmıştır.
