During my sports or cultural trips, Turkish expressions that I had not heard before in the field of architecture caused me to look more carefully at village structures. I sensed that we had a rich vocabulary regarding the art of construction. Looking at the ancient sources, I began to realize that those words were a guide that took us on a journey through the time tunnel.
I could not come across a study directly related to the village building art in the old sources. Interest in the village started by Turkish intellectuals during the Second Constitutional Period in the first years of the Republic, Atatürk especially encouraged research on Turkish language, history and cultural history. I also scanned the compilation dictionaries compiled by the intellectuals of the time, as a bee collects honey, from the mouths of the people, with Atatürk's orders and encouragements. My curiosity deepened and I also scanned the search dictionaries. With the thought that it would be useful to make a comparison, I also examined the reference sources of the Gokturk, Uyghur and Karakhanid periods on the subject. that the words in question do not merely represent a structure or element of structure; When I realized that some of them bear the traces of our cultural codes, I started taking notes. The transformation of these notes into the Building Art Dictionary is the result of five years of research and analysis.
I hope that the dictionary will contribute to the understanding of our cultural codes and be useful...
