The Modular Design of the Mosque of Sehzade Mehmet
(Turk Tarih Kurumu, 2023) Alioglu, E. Fusun
The Mosque of Sehzade Mehmet had been built between 1543 and 1548 at an important location within the Historical Peninsula of Istanbul. The complex within which the mosque is built was located on the road which lies between the Aqueduct of Valens (Bozdogan) and the Fatih Complex. This area constituted the city center and had an impact over the silhouette of the city in the sixteenth century as it does today. The mosque was located at the center of the complex. The Mosque of Sehzade Mehmet was the first sultans mosque designed and built by Mimar Sinan. Even though Sinan himself considers the mosque as his apprenticeship work, researchers disagree. They instead identify the mosque as Sinan's mastership work. There is a plethora of research on the works of Mimar Sinan. In some of these, the existence of modular and/or proportional architecture is discussed. These researches have been conducted within the context of approaches which accept either Western proportion systems, traditional measurement systems, or dome unit as the module. In this article too, the Mosque of Sehzade Mehmet will be analytically studied in order to find out which modular system inspired the design. However, what differs this study from other works is the existence of an extensive survey which is conducted through the use of modern technology. Thus, through this survey, the topic is thoroughly studied with an approach which takes the dome unit as the module. The results are presented by various technical drawings.

Modular System in Mimar Sinan's Mosques
(Yildiz Technical Univ, 2011) Alioglu, E. Fusun; Koroglu, Nil
In the process from design through to construction of Mimar Sinan Structures, methods of designing and building it into a concrete structure are not exactly known. In this direction, in this study the relationship between the modular system and the mosques structural system with structural elements of structural system were examined. Modular system was studied in the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque (1548), Suleymaniye Mosque (1557) and Kilic Ali Pasa Mosque (1580-1581) that are square baldachin scheme Mimar Sinan period mosques and the presence of a modular system has been questioned by the results of analytical studies.
