The Relationship Between Size and Structure in Ottoman Hammams: An Analysis of Chifte and Daut Pasha Hammams

Abstract

Hammams, or traditional Islamic bathhouses, are architectural landmarks that embody the cultural, social, and religious facets of Islamic societies. This paper explores the significance of hammams in Islamic architecture, focusing on their architectural features, social functions, and cultural importance. The study employs correlation analysis to examine the relationship between the dimensions of walls and columns and the total area of Ottoman hammams, specifically the Chifte Hammam and Daut Pasha Hammam. The results reveal a negative correlation between the size of a hammam and the thickness of its structural elements, highlighting efficient design strategies in large bathhouses. Hammams served not only as spaces for hygiene but also as centers for social interaction, providing communal spaces for various cultural and religious activities. Their intricate design elements—including domed ceilings, marble floors, and ornate tile work—reflect the cultural values of Ottoman society. The paper concludes that hammams played a crucial role in fostering social cohesion and cultural exchange within communities. Their architectural and social significance continues to influence contemporary public spaces.
