Abstract

The study aims to analyse the fractal geometry of eight (eight) traditional housing facade planes, which were preserved facade originality and damaged (it is determined regarding window dimensions) in the historic urban centre of Afyonkarahisar. The scope of the study is the concept of fractal in the conceptual framework, fractal geometry and fiction, architectural and fractal fiction, explanation of the traditional Turkish housing definition and formation, determination of building tags in field survey, the box-counting method based on fractal fiction, evaluation of data and findings. The examples in this study have been selected from three-floor, pinnacle, and entrance facades in traditional housing within the “Urban Archeological Site” of the Afyonkarahisar. According to the traditional housing facades defined, the window space remained in its original state, and two different groups were identified, which was damaged originality. Two-dimensional front views of the eight samples in the two groups were drawn vectorially by taking the facade relievo. The fractal fiction between each other was analysed using the “box-counting method”. The analysis of traditional housing facades preserved originality or which was damaged; originality was made according to the data obtained.
