GEÇMİŞİN İZLERİNİN DİYARBAKIR KONAKLARINA YANSIMASI: CEMİL PAŞA KONAĞI ÖRNEĞİ.

In the structures that have survived from the past to the present, the spaces have been shaped according to the socio-cultural lifestyle of the society and have been rearranged according to their changes over time. Lifestyles, religious beliefs, the desire to protect family unity played a great role in the formation of spaces in the buildings. In societies with a patriarchal family system, living spaces and spaces have been built in sizes suitable for the size of the family, and social spaces where the whole family can spend time together have been created. In this study, in addition to its historical importance in Diyarbakir traditional architecture, CemilpaĢa Mansion, which has a very special and important place in terms of plan layout, has been examined with the spatial analyzes from the past to the present day. CemilpaĢa Mansion is the only one among the mansions in Diyarbakır, where the harem and salutation sections have survived to the present day. The mansion's uniqueness in its architecture and layout and the preservation of the traces of the past in the spaces made this mansion special and constituted an important factor in its selection for our study. Although the original architecture of the mansion has not changed in general today, significant changes and transformations have been observed in the use of the spaces in the mansion. After the literature study about the mansion, the books about the CemilpaĢa Family were examined, and oral interviews were held with experts about the past uses of the mansion. In the study, the personal photographs and documents belonging to the CemilpaĢa Family and the past use of the harem-selamlık spaces were examined, and the effects and reflections of the traces of the past on the formation of the spaces were investigated. The work has been completed by making determinations about the re-functioning of CemilpaĢa Mansion, which has been converted into a city museum today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
