Geleneksel Yapı Malzemeleri Üzerinden Maliyet Hesaplama; Mimar Sinan Kurşunlu Cami

Abstract

Financing and management of the project are primary requisites for carrying out construction work. The most apparent input affecting the cost of a structure is considered as the material. This can be observed in all structures from examples of civil architecture to monumental structures. Structures by Mimar Sinan have a special place among monumental structures. Kurşunlu Mosque which is one of the late period structures by Mimar Sinan is one of the more modest structures built upon the approval by Sinan. Even though there are some debates regarding the inclusion of Sinan in planning and construction works, it is pointed out among his works since the architectural patterns reflect those of his style. In this study; Kurşunlu Mosque of Sinan was examined with regard to calculations regarding material cost for historical monumental structures. Afterwards; the cost of the stone which was the main material used in the construction of the Kurşunlu Mosque was calculated using unit prices of our day. t is exemplary for the architects of our day that Sinan who is the most important architect of all ages has used local materials in one of his late period works for decreasing the cost. It is hoped that the study will form a basis for and contribute to future studies on materials and cost.
