- Abstract
Sebil is a public donation, for the distribution of cold drinking water, sweet drinks or fruit juice to passers-by in cups. Ottoman sebils has many different variations and form in time. Some are just huge water jar with a simple tap; some have a window with basin where water pours into; some are monumental buildings like a small kiosk with open and enclosed spaces. Sebil buildings, built in Ahmed III and Mahmud I period (1703-1754), are the buildings where change in 18th century Ottoman architectural style can be observed gradually. Examining these sebils shows that there were three different artistic approaches and architectural styles within the period. The first architectural period was between 1703 and 1718. The sebils built in this period, reflect the traditional Ottoman style as formed in the 16th and 17th century. These sebils are polygonal in plans, and has pointed arches above dispense windows. These sebils are generally "stuck" between row of buildings. The second period last from 1718 to 1740. This period is also called as "Tulip Age", and some changes were occurred in sebils for the very first time in this period. First example in this period was the sebil built by grand vizier Ibrahim Pasha in 1720. These sebils are generally on the most dramatic corners of the city; they have circular plans; the facades are full of ornamental relief and they are more decorative in all sense. Sebils of this period are also elevated vertically, adorned with vertical pilasters. They have wide eaves projecting over all façades of the buildings; and domes with high drums. In this content, their design has similarities with Persian "kiosk" architecture and especially India-Mongol pavilion architecture. However, the architectural elements and details remain traditional. After 1740, in the last period, some radical changes appear on sebil buildings. The first example of this brand new approach is Emin Aga Sebil. The main common points of these buildings are symmetry in façade, baroque curves in plan, and more architectonic ornamentation instead of arabesque motifs. These changes are not only in the general design but also in the architectural details and vocabulary. …
