Abstract
FROM ŞEHRENGİZ TO MONOGRAPHY: BURSA BY LAMI’Î ÇELEBI AND TANPINAR
The city is an indication of common life. History, tradition, culture and mentality are the basic elements that enrich this indicator in terms of meaning. Every city has its own spirit, and this spirit reappears at every moment with its aesthetic imagination. The social texture, harmony and historical heritage of the city reflect the collective consciousness of the past. The only way to freeze a certain time in a certain mold is to leave creative and permanent works. In this context, certain cities have always been attractive with a charming inspiration. Bursa is one of these cities. In this study, Lami Çelebi's "Bursa Şehrengizi" were compared with "Beş Şehir" of Tanpınar. History, human, nature, architecture, tradition and other cultural elements that are influential in the formation of city identity have been written with a certain methodology.
