The Aim, the Signaficance, and the Expected Outcomes of the Project:

Seljukid Period is significant since it demonstrates the evolution of  Turkish Architecture in Anatolia. Since only a few examples of this period’s monuments have reached today, it is certainly significant to analysis their spatial qualities and evaluate their organisation principles in a systematic manner.
