Abstract

MAURICE CERASI THE FORMATION OF OTTOMAN HOUSE 1YPES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN INTERACTION WITH NEIGHBORING CULTURES The typical Ottoman house has specific characteristics that give it its peculiar place in the universal history of house types. Its origins and its relationship to the house types of the neighboring areas make a fascinating case study for the understanding both of the cultural phenomena of the Ottoman universe and of the processes involved in making architecture in general, Ottoman or not. Intriguing questions arise that we cannot yet answer convincingly. Was western Ottoman urban culture a homogeneous continuum, or was it articulated in subcultures? If the latter, which of these pertained to the culture of the "core area"? How much of architectural history's distinction between "cultured" architecture and "vernacular" architecture is valid? Finally, almost a century after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire into nation states, followed by some seventy years of classification and description of house types by national standards and boundaries unknown to the Ottomans, are we using the correct instruments and best methods to comprehend the products of that civilization?
