Mardin İdadi Mektebi’nin Mimari Özelliklerinin Bölgesel Farklılıklar Bakımından İncelenmesi.

The military schools opened in the Ottoman Empire from 1773 onwards influenced the shaping of modern educational structures. In 1856, with the Edict of Reform, which was proclaimed to protect the rights of non-Muslims, the opening of sanbyan schools outside Istanbul and schools that would serve the non-Muslims' own communities were accelerated. In 1869, with the General Education Regulation, educational institutions were reorganised as iptidai rüştiye, idadi and sultani. The Idadi Schools, which were opened after the Sıbyan and Rüştiye Schools, started education in order to train students for military schools and later turned into secondary education. The first Idadi School was opened in 1873 in the same building with Darülmaarif and some of the students of Darülmaarif were enrolled in the Idadi School. The aim of the idadi schools was to integrate Muslim and non-Muslim students by educating them together and to educate them with a common culture. II. Abdulhamid had many educational buildings, especially İdadi schools, built in order to spread modern education. In this study, the plan and façade features of the Mardin Idadi School, which was built by the Armenian architect Lole in 1900 in Mardin, were examined. Within the scope of the study, the architectural features of Mardin Idadi Mektebi are compared with the school buildings built in Balıkesir, Kırklareli, Konya and Aksaray, three of which were built in the Late Ottoman Period and one in the Early Republican Period. In the comparison, similarities and differences in terms of period characteristics and the effect of the local elements of the region where they were built were investigated through examples selected from regions with different cultural, climatic and topographical data from the centre to the provinces.
