Abstract:

Anatolia is an important geographical area that has been expensive for all mankind with its unique cultural assets that the communities have lived over the centuries. Innovations and developments in the architectural and art field make a significant contribution to today’s cultural environment. The Selchucks have brought Chinese art to Anadolu and the examples of works in the architecture, especially in the area, which have reached to date, are quite rich in terms of shape, composition and decoration. The other period that gives examples of the cultural treasure of Anadolu is the Ottoman Empire. One of the important elements that reflect the wealth and glory of the empire is the glass material used in the architecture and space. The form of use of ceramic and glass materials of these two periods, which form the identity of the Turkish architecture history, has made significant contributions to the architectural structures as an aesthetic element. The research topic of this study is limited to the Selçuklu Period Chine wall covers and the Ottoman Period glass art. The reason for this limitation is that the Selchucks first brought the Chinese to Anadolu and their examples of glass materials were seen in the Ottoman architecture. The research is carried out with a quality and imaginary research plan. On the subject, literature was first scanned, and discussions were held with Prof. Dr. Lale Dilbaş, a specialist in the field of glass with the aim of collecting data. Furthermore, the incident-case (Anekdot) recording method and the subject-titles can be reached from the places of the periods passed on the site by examining the observation in an objective form. According to the research, the use of ceramic and glass materials, which have contributed significantly to the architectural area throughout history in Anatolia, has been observed to be increasingly reduced today, the continuation of the root tradition from the past has not beenined, and the production has entered the corruption process.
