This article aims to analyze the transition of domestic life design from alaturka to alafranga, one of the visible stages of Ottoman modernization. Our primary source was interior photographs of the Ottoman Embassy in Sofia. Leyla Asım Turgut Heritage houses these photographs in Painting and Sculpture Museum Archive at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul. Leyla Asım Turgut, the daughter of first Sofia Ambassador and Foreign Minister of Ottoman Empire Mustafa Asım Turgut, is one of the first female architects in Turkey during the Turkish Republican era. The estate was transferred to the museum after Leyla Asım Turgut's death in accordence with her will in 1996. There are seven photographs of the interior of the heritage in total. However, there are no photographs of the exterior of the embassy. The photographs of the Sofia Embassy are an objective represantation of the social changes in the process of modernization of the Ottoman through the use of space and design. It is also archival material. It has historical and evidentiary value regarding the furniture fashion and spirit of the time. Therefore, these photographs provide a rich source of study for scholars in the fields of modernization, Ottoman family history, social history, art history, architectural history, and interior design. The study intends to assess the historical images of the Ottoman Embassy in Sofia, using the methodology of art history. Another aim is to examine of the positioning of an Ottoman bureaucratic family with Western codes within the East-West dichotomy. It was found out that the family of Mustafa Asım Turgut preferred an eclectic style of furnishing by using the furniture of Alafranga and the objects of Alaturka together. Therefore, it is concluded that the family blends the West and the East in their lives.

This study concerns a soap factory built in the early years of the twentieth century in Ayvalık Soap factories which are described within the scope of immovable industrial assets of the region, are substantial in terms of the commercial life of Ayvalık, just like the olive oil factories. Soap factories having a crucial role in the industry-based spatial history of Ayvalık, are reviewed in two main groups according to their structure. The first group includes soap factories which were built as individual single buildings. The second group includes soap factories, each of which was built adjacent to an olive oil factory looking like its twin. Many of the soap factories are today either abandoned or being used as cafes, hotels, stores etc. as a result of repurposing. The soap factory forming the subject of this article is located in the 150 Evler District, on the historical industrial manufacturing axis of Ayvalık. Therefore the factory is in an area of Ayvalık which is considered to be hectic in terms of production and trading in its time. Respectively, field research, archival research and a literature review were performed in this study. As a result of the data obtained and finds the soap factory was evaluated in the context of historicity within the framework of architecture and art history disciplines and was analyzed in terms of mass and structure aspects.

This article examined the tomb of (The Mad) Husrev Pasha, which is located in the neighborhood of Yenibahce in Istanbul.
This tomb, designed by Mimar Sinan at the beginning of his professional career, is known as one of the oldest urban
spaces in Istanbul. Dating back to the 16th century, it is unique in terms of its design and decoration. Previously, there was
a bazaar, a school, and an Ottoman coffee house surrounding the tomb, but today, the monument is situated between
buildings. Despite its importance, the monument has only been discussed in Ekram Hakke Ayverdi’s 1995 work about
the architecture of Mimar Sinan titled, “the Tomb of Husrev Pasha,” and in the history of academic literature in Turkey.
However, there are serious mistakes and ambiguous statements in these studies about the tomb itself and the date that
it was built. Additionally, the mistakes and contradictory statements about the lodge that used to be located next to the
tomb and whose presence was detected through old maps, manuscripts, and written sources, make it almost impossible
to establish the correct spatial history of the tomb. Thus, Mimar Sinan’s creation of the Tomb of Husrev Pasha was analyzed
from a monographic perspective, within the framework of art history and architectural history. Moreover, through the
identification of the repeated historical and spatial errors in the various sources, this article formulates a correct inscriptive

The East, and consequently the Ottoman culture was perceived as exotic and a magical world in the world of thought of the West from the 16th century onwards. Curiosity and interest in the exotic and magical Ottoman world was met by the albums prepared in the West, containing images of Ottoman culture with explanatory texts. As these albums were the cultural objects created by societies, the first discussion in our study will be on what the concept of “culture” means in scientific grounds. The meaning of cross-culture concept which is a subdiscipline of cultu¬re, will be explained in terms of art and the discipline of cultural history. Another topic examined in this study is the chronological determination of the Ottoman albums prepared in Europe, containing images of Ot¬to¬man culture. After that, the preparation processes of “Young Album” and “Album of Turkish Military Cos¬tume” which were printed in London under the protection of Ottoman Empire in 19th century, will be mentioned and these albums will be introduced within the frame of discipline of cultural history. Where these albums stand within the Ottoman and English world of thought, how these two cultures perceive these albums, and the link between these albums and the cross-culture concept will be examined within the Conclusion part of the text.

It is a serious problem for Abdülhamid II during his reign, who avoids his individual presence from public to give meaning to his non physcal presence in the modern world. It is a very serious problem for his power.
Sultan Abdulhamid II, in overcoming this crisis of representation to become visible for the public and build his own power, Abdülhamid uses instruments that has been taken as reference by the modern world with the solution ways that appropriate Islamic culture.
It's sociologically very possible to see his physical appearing since Abdülhamid is a modern and public personality.
This text is about understanding the Sultan's public presence with the perspective of the so-called ideological concept of education which is used as a propaganda tool and shaped by the politic environment of that period. Also there is another issue is to show that how Abdülhamid build his power with the architecture elements used in schools, the interior designs of schools, syllabus, ceremonies and other rituels.

ÖZET
Osmanlı  İmparatorluğu’nda XIX. yüzyılda her alanda yaşanan değişim, Osmanlı kentlerinde özellikle de İstanbul kent dokusunda kentsel ve yaşamsal dönüşümlerin yaşanmasına neden olmuş,böylece İstanbul’un bürokrat ve zengin sınıfına mensup aileler ikamet alanlarını tarihi yarımadadan Pera ve Nişantaşı bölgesine kaydırmışlardır. Hariciye Nezareti (Tevfik Paşa) Konağı da bu dönüşüm sürecinde XIX. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde İstanbul Ayaspaşa’da inşa edilmiş önemli sivil yapı örneklerindendir.İtalyan Büyükelçisi Baron Blanc tarafından yaptırılan konak; önce İtalyan Büyükelçiliği, daha sonra ise Hariciye Nezareti Lojmanı olarak kullanılmış, ancak 1911 yılında çıkan bir yangında içindeki değerli eşyalar ile birlikte yanmıştır. Yangından konağın sadece müştemilat binaları kurtulmuştur. Hariciye Nazırı Ahmet Tevfik Paşa'nın mülkiyetinde olan konağın müştemilat binaları 1930 yılında Paşa'nın ailesi tarafından otele çevrilmiştir. 
Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi Resim Heykel Müzesi Arşivi’ndeki  Leyla Turgut Terekesi’nde, Hariciye Nezareti (Tevfik Paşa) Konağının cephe ve iç mekan fotoğrafları bulunmaktadır. Bundan dolayı bu çalışmanın hazırlanmasında,  Leyla Turgut Terekesi’ndeki Hariciye Nezareti (Tevfik Paşa) Konağı’na ait fotoğraflar önemli bir yere sahiptir.

Özet
Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun son yıllarında doğmuş ve erken cumhuriyet döneminde İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi'nde sanat eğitimi almış olan Zerrin Bölükbaşı, sanat tarihimizdeki öncü kadın heykeltıraşlarımızdandır. 1950'li yılların Türkiyesi'nde aktif kadın sanatçı olarak varlık gösteren Bölükbaşı, yaşama karşı duruşu ve hayatta üstlendiği kimlikleriyle (çalışan kadın-sanatçı kadın-,eş, anne,) toplumsal yaşamdaki modern kadın imgesi ile uyum içindedir. Dolayısıyla Zerrin Bölükbaşı, eğitimli, bilinçli ve özgür kadın imgesininTürk toplumunda ete kemiğe bürünmüş halidir. Kırk yıllık sanat yaşamı boyuncasayısız sergiye katılan ve ödülleri olan Bölükbaşı, eril heykel dünyasında başarılarıyla varlık göstermiştir.

Abstract
Zerrin Bölükbaşı, born in late years of Ottoman Empire and got education of art in an Academy in early republican period, is one of the pioneer women sculptors in our history of art. Presenting herself as an active woman artisan in Turkey of 1950s, Bölükbaşı has been in harmony with the image of modern woman in a social life, by her posture towards living and the identities (workingwoman – artisan woman – wife, mother) she assumed in life. Therefore, Zerrin Bölükbaşı presents a case of taking the form of flesh and bone of image of being educated, well informed and liberal woman, in Turkish society. Bölükbaşı participated in countless shows and was awarded with numerous awards throughout her forty-year art life and has been active in the sphere of masculine sculpture.

1950’LERİN SANAT ORTAMINDA KADIN SANATÇI KİMLİĞİYLE HEYKELTRAŞ ZERRİN (ARK) BÖLÜKBAŞI
Tarihsel süreçte ve günümüzde toplum tarafından her iki cinse -kadın ve erkeğe- sosyal yaşamda çeşitli rol ve davranış modelleri yüklenmiş, bu rol ve her iki cinsten beklenen davranışlar, toplum tarafından her ortamda değişmez doğrular olarak algılanmıştır. Ancak, toplumun sosyal yaşam içinde kadın ve erkekten beklentileri cinsiyete göre şekillenir, yani şartlar ve sonuçlar kadın ve erkek için farklılık ifade eder. Her iki cins için aynı olmayan olanaklar, sosyal yaşamda erkeklerin lehine sonuçlanmış, gerek bilimsel gerekse sanatsal alanda eril bir dili, ifade tarzını yaratmıştır.  Her konuya hâkim eril bakış açısı, kadın sanatçı kimliğinin oluşmasında ve sanat dünyasında kadın sanatçı olarak varlık gösterebilmenin önemli açmazlarındandır.
Kadın sanatçı kimliğinin tarihsel serüveninde,  Rönesans’a kadar kadın sanatçılar ve üretimleri görmezden gelinmiş, zanaatkâr olarak görülmüşlerdir.  Kadınlar, sanatçı kimlikleri ile ilk kez Vasari tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Vasari’den sonra, 1970’li yılları beklemek gerekmiş, ancak bu tarihten sonra günümüze değin devam eden süreçte , kadın sanatçı kimliği sanat tarihi ve onunla ilişki içerisinde olan diğer disiplinlerin çalışma alanını oluşturmuştur. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda ise kadın sanatçılar, ilk kez XIX. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde varlık göstermeye başlamalarına rağmen, kadın ve erkek sanatçı arasında bir cinsiyet eşitliğinden söz edilemez. Toplumun her noktasında olduğu gibi Osmanlı sanat yaşamında da hâkim unsur erkektir. Hele kas gücü gerektiren heykelle uğraşmak ise, erkek egemen dünyada kadın sanatçı açısından bir romantik bir fantezi olmaktan öte olarak görülmez. Bu nedenle XIX. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde ve XX. yüzyılın başlarında kadın sanatçılar, yoğunluklu olarak resim çalışmışlardır. Bu noktadan hareketle, Türk plastik sanatları eğitiminde resmi kayıtlara geçen en erken kadın heykel öğrencisi 1920 yılında Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi’ne kaydolan Sabiha Ziya Bengütaş’dır. Sabiha Ziya’yı, Nermin Faruki ve Zerrin (Ark) Bölükbaşı takip etmiştir.
Yukarıda söylenenlerin minvalinde, tebliğimizin konusunu Erken Cumhuriyet Döneminde ve 1950’lerin Türkiye’sinde kadın sanatçı kimliği ile varlık gösteren Zerrin (Ark) Bölükbaşı oluşturmaktadır. Metnin genel akışı içerisinde, sanat tarihinde ve sanat dünyasında kadın sanatçı kimliğinin oluşumun tarihsel ve sosyolojik serüveni irdelenecektir. İlerleyen bölümde ise, Zerrin Bölükbaşı’nın yoğun olarak sanatsal üretimde bulunduğu 1950’li ve 1960’lı yıllarda kadın heykeltraş olarak eril sanat dünyasındaki duruşu ve varlığı biyografisi ve yapıtları ile desteklenerek ortaya konulacaktır.

Abstract

In the history of Turkish Literature there are numerous cases that authors were forced to live away from their hometowns or more conceptually, were exiled, though the punishment by the political power. However, contrary to its negative perception, this obligatory residence took part in their biographies as the periods in which their literary productivity increased.         
One of the prominent authors of the Early Turkish Republic Literature Era, Cevat Sakir was sentenced to confinement in a fortress, a type of banishment, by Independence Tribunals (Istiklal Mahkemeleri) because of a political reason and was sent to Bodrum Kaleici for his punishment. After two and a half years of obligatory residence, he left Bodrum Kaleici. However, his love of Bodrum sent him back there and he lived in Bodrum until the end of his life. His return to Bodrum is regarded as a milestone for his literature career, Bodrum and related themes became dominant in his literal work.
Cevat Sakir successively created the image of “Heavenly Bodrum” in the minds of his audience by consolidating the representation of Bodrum’s urban spaces in his related literal work. This representation transforms Bodrum from a peripheral place in Turkey in the 1940s and 1950s into a imaginary space that people desire to go, therefore contributing to its gentrification.
The main aim of this article is to analyze how authors can change the destiny of a geography during their obligatory residence. Through the analysis of Cevat Sakir’s literal work, the adventure of how Bodrum reached the masses in the following years; its history, culture and natural beauty; its path from locality to universality and the representation of urban and architectural spaces of Bodrum will be investigated. 
Keywords: Exile, Bodrum, literature, gentrifirication.

There are the dates and some private notes written down on the backsides of the portrait of Mustafa Asım and most of the photographs relating to the group and the days of ambassadorship in Sofia, existing in the estate, which enable to elucidate the story of Mustafa Asım’s private life. Those photographs, being a sort of diary in character, which remained ambiguous in the recent written sources on biography of Mustafa Asım and to fictionalize his biography.
Moreover, there are some photographs, in the estate, of the interior of Ottoman Embassy in Sofia. Those images contain crucial signs about the period’s preferences of furniture and the decoration of Ottoman embassies, and, thus, about the interior arrangement of Ottoman Embassy of Sofia, and preferences of furniture of the Ottoman elite class and they help to visualize the perception of luxury of Ottoman bureaucracy.
The relevance of our subject of paper with the history of Balkans stems from the attempt of fictionalization through the photographs of the biography of Mustafa Asım, the first Ottoman ambassador in city of Sofia. Furthermore, reading the interior of our embassy existing in the Balkan geography, through the photographs of Embassy of Sofia, is of vital importance in terms of our existence in the Balkans.

The modernization movement in education started with XVIIth century in Ottoman Empire also
continued with Albdulhamid II’s Period, and despite of the financial difficulties, the education
was perceived by political power as a public service that must be assumed by government.
In Abdulhamid II’s Period, the Otoman educational system was strengthened with the realization
of all clauses of Maarif-i Umumiye Regulation (Public Educational Regulation), thus, the
generalization of the education and the control of the government over educational system was
achieved, even if partially, with setting up the infrastructure.
Adulhamid II, understanding the education as a functional means, considered the concept of
education as an institution through which he could have reproduced and strengtherned his power.
It is because of this reason that the education was worked up into one of the means that was
referred frequently to promote the official ideology.
When Abdulhamid II ascended to the throne, in Otoman Empire, there were 4 high schools, 4
teachers’ schools, 253 intermediary schools, 18.490 children’s schools and 1 private school.
Towards the end of the Abdulhamid II’s Period, the number of schools in the country reached to
619 intermediary, 109 preparatory, 32 teachers’ schools, and about 5000 primary schools.
In Abdulhamid II’s Period, besides other educational institutions, the military intermediary
schools were also considered important, and in a geography extending from İstanbul to Manastır
and Syria twenty eight military intermediary schools in total were included into the educational
system. The educational system and educational materials, which can be considered as modern
for its period, were put into practice in these schools. However, Abdulhamid who did very
assertive moves in modernization of education, on the contrary to the preparatory architectural,
could not have redesigned the architectural topology of the military intermediary schools in the
repertoire of XIX Century school architectural, and, it should not be overlooked that, in our
history of education, the military intermediary schools made their presence felt with their
educational models they applied, but, not with their architectural ones.
