Özet

This article reviews the book "Traditional Window Designs of Kirklareli, Turkey", authored by Nevnihal Erdoğan and İzzet Yüksek. The book delves into the standardisation of windows found in traditional houses during the late 19th and early 20th centuries within the Kirklareli region of Turkey. Within the scope of the study, 109 houses were examined, and 20 houses were excluded because they lost their original features due to deterioration and destruction. According to researchers, urgent measures need to be taken to protect the cultural heritage in the region. In this regard, one of the book's aims is to contribute to developing new design models by archiving traditional window details. The study examined 103 traditional window types belonging to 89 houses in detail.
