Summary
A comprehensive examination of the Kalemisi works in the Selimiye Mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Konya, reveals intricate adherence to graphic design principles. The study highlights how elements such as line, color, texture, and compositional balance contribute to the mosque's aesthetic cohesion. Researchers found that the motifs' conformity to architectural structures, rhythmic visual continuity, and strategic use of color and density create a harmonious yet dynamic visual experience. These findings underscore the sophistication of Turkish-Islamic adornment techniques, blending artistic expression with structural integration.
