Abstract
In this research, I have analyzed the way in which the main cover of the Divrigi Hospital was built by using stereotomy method. The Divrigi Complex represents the most ancient one known in Anatolia in the design of stone vault types.The insistence and variety of the structure of the groin vaults have brought to different solutions in their geometrical bases. Even in the past in the history of turkish architecture the stereotomy method was neglacted and the groin vaults were considered as an example of european architecture. One of the aims of my study was to analyze the vault of Divrigi, I have studied the geometrical structure of the vault assuming the possible constructive procedures that were adopted in the “taller de construcción Gótica Madrid” (Madrid Gothic building workshop). If this hypothesis is true, the working method for building groin vaults can be extendend to all the groin vaults of the Divrigi Complex, understanding the Seljukian masters’ methods.
