| 説明 | A nearby plaque says (after some editing):This building that was one of the great and gorgeous buildings of Ottoman bathhouses in Istanbul, was constructed by Hurrem Sultan in 1556-57. The architect of the building, that was called as "Hagias Sophia Bathhouse”, was Mimar Sinan.The building that lost its genuine use in the beginning of Republican era was used as gas tank of the municipality, and as warehouse of State Printing Office for a while. It was ruined due to negligence; also, a door was opened in-between temperature parts of women and men.In the bathhouse that was firstly restored in 1957-1958, several international contemporary arts exhibitions were performed at the end of 1980s.The building that was designed as double-bathhouse lies in north-south direction. On the walls of the building, rubble stone-fence on which hackings were used in patches, but at the entrance facade (northern) of men's part that was decorated by a portico, sequential wall by two lines of brick and a line of face limestone were preferred. The elegant portico on the northern facade of men's part that was rarely seen in other bathhouses and giving mosque view has five units. The unit in the middle with square plan has a pendentive dome (1) whereas other units with rectangular plan are covered by cavetto vaults. The lancet arches with sequential walls of the portico are settled on columns decorated by checkered headings. Above the entrance with drop arch, under a basmala (2), a tablet with the date of 1556-57 that was written by a poet with a nickname of "Hudai" is available. Dressing rooms with square plan, that were made dominant over the outer facade of the building by holding it higher than the other parts of the bathhouse, were crowned by domes embedded on the squinches (3) in the addorsed [back-to-back] heating parts of men and women, it could be seen that traditional scheme of Turkish bathhouse architecture with a central sofa and four iwans (4) and star with eight-strand that was characteristic for Roman architecture were applied in a synthesis.Notes(1) Pendetive: a construction solution which allows a circular dome to be built atop a rectangular floor plan. (2) Basmala: in the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.(3) Squinche: a construction filling in the upper angles of a square room so as to form a base to receive an octagonal or spherical dome.(4) Iwan: rectangular space, usually vaulted, walled on three sides, with one end entirely open.For more information see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haseki_H%C3%BCrrem_Sultan_Hamam%C4%B1. |
