Design and Production of Animal Figures in the Tiles of Kubad Abad Palace in Computer

Kubad Abad Palace tiles, one of the important artefacts of the Anatolian Seljuk Period, are very open to new forms and productions with their unique aesthetic world. Especially the interpretation of animal figures on the tiles offers the viewer a different world and a different perspective. These figures, which are painted in two-dimensional form on ceramic surfaces, have taken on a three-dimensional structure within the scope of the master's thesis study. In this process of transition from a two-dimensional structure to a three-dimensional structure, new shaping tools were used. This part of the study is also a new production based on the Kubad Abad Palace tiles, and the master's thesis consists of three parts. In the first stage, these artefacts were reshaped in the computer environment with digital sculpture design tools and in the second stage they were produced using three-dimensional printer technologies. The third stage is the creation of the moulds of the prototypes and then their production with ceramic material. Kubad Abad Palace tiles were handled from a new perspective and ceramic material was used in the production processes of the artefacts, as in the Kubad Abad Palace tiles years ago. However, this work has a different structure due to the differences in composition, design and production process.
