A Research on the Proportion, Balance, and Modulation Relationship of the Caravanserais Built Under the Patronage of Kayqubad I

Anatolian Seljuk caravanserais built under Kayqubad I's patronage exhibit sophisticated architectural principles of proportion, balance, and modulation, reflecting both aesthetic innovation and functional brilliance. These structures, analyzed through detailed measurements and digital tools, demonstrate how cultural interactions shaped their design. Key examples—such as Aksaray Sultan Hanı, Tuzhisarı Sultan Hanı, and Alara Han—reveal a harmonious integration of structural properties, plan typologies, and decorative elements, challenging assumptions about regional architectural constraints.
