A Thematic Reflection on Gülru Necipoğlu's Theories in the Topkapi Scroll- Geometry and Ornaments in Islamic Architecture abstract

The study conducted by Necipoğlu in the book "Geometry and Ornaments in Islamic Architecture" is widely recognized as an influential work. However, some of her assumptions require re-analysis after approximately three decades. This research aims to re-evaluate her three hypotheses from the book, namely the denial of the connection between Sufism and architecture, the position of architecture in the classification of sciences, and the close relationship between mathematicians and artisans. For this purpose, this research, which is methodically organized based on content analysis and interpretive-historical approaches, obtained its data from historical sources and tried to reanalyze the mentioned assumptions by relying on the actor-network theory. The study concludes that although there is a lack of documentation, the connection between architecture and Sufism cannot be disregarded, and one should believe in some form of relationship between them.; Architecture has been an independent knowledge in the classification of sciences since the 8th A.H., and the relationship between mathematicians and craftsmen should be viewed as mutual, and both have played a significant role in promoting the knowledge of practical geometry in architecture.
