Abstract
Being a world heritage Hagia Sophia and Selimiye are symbol buildings having significant cultural, spatial and structural features. They both reflect the political ascendancy and magnificence of the century they were built besides challenging constructional approach. At the same time these buildings, reflecting their spatial hierarchy on building surfaces and textures, are the architectural works providing privacy conditions in spatial fiction and configuration also making feel of safety.
The aim of the study is to determine the similarities or differences of the two symbol buildings designed for different religious functioning and rituals in terms of space hierarchy. Within this scope “Privacy” is defined as basic concepts; degrees of space hierarchy are specified in the context of “public, semi-public, semi-private, private” spaces and are analyzed on the two buildings’ plan drawings comparatively containing arrangements, limits and lower degrees.
