Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the construction history of Arap Khan, situated in the Eminönü district of İstanbul and to discuss the architectural features of 18th and 19th century khans with a comparative study. Arap Hanı is a double storied, masonry building, consisted of barrel vaulted rooms around an inner court. Despite repeating the plan scheme of classical Ottoman khans, the building implies the 19th century western influence in material and architectural style and thus, displays the radical changes in the Ottoman city-inns with the efforts of westernization. In this study, general architectural features of the 18th and 19th century khans are discussed and comparative analyses are made by means of plan, façade, material and construction techniques. This paper is based on the author’s master’s thesis, named as “Restoration Project of Arap Hanı in Eminönü Küçükpazar” with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yegan Kahya as the supervisor at ITU Faculty of Architecture, Department of Restoration.
