Description
If urban design decisions are taken ignoring the historical value of buildings, cultural inputs and meaning of the space based on memories and experiences, the sense of place disappears like in Konya Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi Square. Konya was the capital of Anatolian Seljuk, and the Mevlana Celaleddin Tomb, which is the symbol of the city. The aim of this study is to try to understand the architectural interventions and urban transformation within Konya Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi Square that has the potential of producing creating general results. Ontological Planning approach is adding spirit to the space and also addition of the morphological energy of the space to urban planning. Ignoring ontological planning approach, all spatial decisions for making better will create new problems and will create worse.
