Main Article Content

Abstract

Dating back to 3000 BC, Alaaddin Hill is located right in the heart of Konya province, which used to be the capital of Selcuk Civilization. More than 60 years wedding halls built on Alaaddin Hill is hardly ever used due to the reason that cars are unable to reach this area because there is an ongoing landscaping for almost four years. This building has become a problem for the city, also getting older every year. In this aspect, this building is revised as Museum of Selcuk Civilizations and projects are prepared to re-function it within the scope of course name Interior Architecture Project-7 by Selcuk University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design during fall semester of 2015-2016 education year.There are 48 students in this project. Technical visits are made to the building, field studies conducted and research held. The underlying reason of this project work is the Selcuk patterns. Following the study, each student stylizes the patterns they collected from Mevlana Museum, Alaaddin Mosque, Karatay, Ince Minare, Sircali Medrese and Kayseri provinces of Selcuk art, such as the scope of the work are discussed, in a studio environment and created project bases for themselves. The study uses ‟Malevich Tectonics†as a method, which is defined as transfer of two-dimensional patterns into three-dimensional ones. The patterns stylized are used to create a spatial setting. From exhibition components to equipments, from lighting to upholstery, all design process is conducted by the stylization of Selcuk patterns.Finally, students offered a suggestion to build a museum for the city by re-functioning a problematic building of the city, also created a source of inspiration for new projects by re-interpreting the Selcuk patterns and prepared their unique projects.
