Transformation of house-typology in the ancient Priene city
Kuloezue, Neslihan; Acmaz, Melda;
This study investigates the influences of social and cultural diversities in the Hellenic, Roman and Byzantium eras on the designs of urban planning and house architecture in Priene. Geographical and economical conditions, social classes, gender and power-relations, religious groups, customs, technology and culture are the chief elements in shaping Priene, which was established as a city of democracy, based on the equality principle together with the help of the grid-iron system, in the south of Mykale Mountain in 350 BC. Besides, gender and power-relations like male and female or master and slave shaped the designs of houses and administrative buildings in Priene. House planning with prostas that was derived from megaron, which played a great role in developing house architecture, was the basic element in constructing house planning in Priene and with the alternation of this house planning due to the Hellenistic influence, house planning with peristyle appeared. This shift from megaron to peristyle is best observed in Priene out of the Hellen cities in the West Anatolia. The grid-iron system in Priene that was once designed to consist of one type of house with equal sizes for all citizens in the 4th century BC is investigated with the help of data from the relevant literature. Secondly, the most recent urban plan of Priene is compared with the grid-iron plan of Priene, which was developed with computer software. Consequently, this study uncovers the alternations in the urban and house planning in Priene due to social changes in the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantium eras. The effects of the house of Priene can be observed also on the Ottoman era architecture.
