Carpet Art As A Source of Inspiration in Urban Landscape Design

Abstract

One of the sources of inspiration used to increase the aesthetic value of a design product is the traditional arts owned by that culture. When the Turkish traditional art is examined, it is seen that the oldest art is the art of carpet. For this reason, Turkish carpet art was used as a means of inspiration in urban landscape designs. The aim of the research is to emphasize the importance of using local and cultural values as inspiration in urban landscape designs and to provide urban landscape design proposals for the preservation and transfer of these values to future generations. In this context, "Dösemealti" carpets belonging to the Antalya region, which have a significant place in terms of traditional carpet art in Turkey, are considered as a source of inspiration in urban landscape design. Thus, the characteristic features of Dösemealti carpets in traditional Turkish carpets are reflected in urban landscape designs.
