Her ülke kendine has geleneksel bir ya da birden fazla konut türüne sahiptir. Geleneksel konutlar genelde çevrede bulunan ve tabiatın sunduğu malzemelerden yapılmıştır. Eski dönemlerden günümüze ulaşan konutları incelediğimizde, mimarların yaşadıkları ülkeye ve kültüre uygun planlama ve tasarımlar yaptığını ve o dönemin sunduğu imkâna göre başarılı yapılar inşa ettiklerini görmekteyiz. Geleneksel konutlar gerek doğal iklimlendirme yöntemi gerekse doğal malzemeler kullanılarak, çevreye dost birer yapı olarak görülmektedir. Bu özellikleri taşıyan geleneksel konutlardan biri de Mısır Kahire’de bulunmaktadır. Kahire’de bulunan İslami dönem evlerinin dönemine ait konut mimarisi özelliklerinden birçok unsuru taşıması nedeniyle incelenmeye değer olduğu görülmektedir. Günümüzde bu mimari yapılar ve donatı malzemeleri bazı tasarımcıların ilham kaynağı olmayı başarmıştır. Bunun daha iyi bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi gerektiği bu makalede vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, literatür araştırmalarının yanı sıra, Mısır’ın İslami dönem konutlarından bu konutların oluşumunu etkileyen unsurları taşıyan ve günümüze kadar ulaşabilmiş ve özgünlüğünü koruyabilmiş, 15 y.y -18 y.y (Memlükler ve Osmanlı dönemi) arasındaki dönemde yapılmış olan konutlar tespit edilerek yerinde incelenmiş bulunmaktadır. Bu konuyla ilgili Türkçe ve diğer dillerde çok fazla yayın olmaması ve yazılı kaynak gereksiniminin olması bu çalışmanın önemini artırmaktadır. Günümüzde özellikle Kahire başta olmak üzere Mısır’da konut mimarisinin batıdan etkilenerek coğrafyasına ve yaşam biçimine uygun olmayan şekilde gelişim göstermesi, İslami dönem konut özelliklerinin araştırılarak günümüz konut mimarisine ışık tutması beklenmektedir.
Each country has its own specific type of one or more traditional houses. In general, traditional houses were built from materials offered by nature near the location of the houses. When we study traditional houses that survived until today, we can observe that architects designed buildings suitable for the culture of the country and really prosperous despite limited construction technology. These houses are considered to be environmentally friendly due to the use of natural ventilation methods and natural materials. One of the best examples for this type of houses is the Islamic traditional houses located in Egypt-Cairo. Those houses, which survived until today and exist in Cairo, were chosen as a study topic for uniting more than one value reflecting the features of the houses built in this period. Today, those architectural structures succeeded in being the source of inspiration for some designers. In this paper, the importance of taking more advantage of those structures has been emphasized. In addition to literature research, houses built between the 15th century and the 18th century (Mamluk and Ottoman era) have been determined and examined to preserve its originality and reflect the reasons behind the formation of Islamic architecture in Egypt - Cairo. The fact that there are not many publications about this subject in Turkish language and other languages and also the need for written sources, increases the importance of this study. As today in Egypt and especially in Cairo the architecture was affected from the West without considering its geographic and cultural properties, in this study by examining Islamic houses in Cairo it is expected to light the way for today’s architecture.
