Old Turkish bath. Drawing

Naib Bath in Gaziantep. Its smoky chimney, plastered dome and beautiful glass lighting lanterns. Its aged texture inspires me. I love old images and stories in lived places. Naib Bath The building, which was built as a complex with its lodge, tomb and mosque, is thought to have been built in the first quarters of the 16th century, based on the records in the Ayıntab Foundation Book. Naip Hamam was built in the Tabakhane district, one of the oldest settlements in Gaziantep, and is one of the least changed among the hammams in the region. Like many Turkish baths in Gaziantep, it was built below street level, thus allowing the bath to heat up more. Another reason why the baths are built below the street level is; domes do not exert intense pressure on the body walls. Naip Bath extends in the east-west direction and presents a rectangular plan scheme. The entrance to the building is made through a plain door on the north. The cold part has a square plan and is covered with a dome. Transitions called Turkish triangle or pendentive were used in the transitions to the dome. An intermediate space has been made between Coldness and Warmth, and the top cover of this space is; cradle vault. The warm room was built in a rectangular shape in the north-south direction. The hot part, on the other hand, exhibits a symmetrical plan. An octagonal navel stone in the middle is located to the east and west; There is an iwan. Two private rooms are placed on both sides of the iwans. Above the private rooms; covered with a dome. To the west of the temperature is the furnace. Naip Bath attracts attention as decoration. The geometric compositions in black, white and red on the floor coverings have brought dynamism to the interior.
