Abstract
The Ottoman Empire was home to many ethnic and religious groups and the Ottoman administrative system enforced the segregation of ethnic and religious communities. Current research investigates whether identity may be reflected within the eighteenth and nineteenth century domestic architecture of these Ottoman communities. Ethnic and cultural identity is currently much debated and this paper investigates the difficulties with related terminology and theories, and the complexities behind perceptions of identities. Case studies from Cyprus, supported by a consideration of some Jordanian and Lebanese examples, are assessed. The evidence examined suggests that architectural variations are regional rather than related to identity.
