Anatolian Civilizations museum Impressions

Having connection with neolithic and paleolithic people situation is really interesting for me. When I trip to Anatolian Civilizations Museum, I can easily say that even their materials seems like old age, we can still use them in modern way.  For instance there are lots of examples of pitcher and even todays world people use pitcher as a decoration material, like 30-40 years ago, they also use it in real manner. Also their workmanship are seems good. It shows us they also give importance to design.
Museum does not only include paleolithic and neolithic age. We can also see trace about more developed civilizations. But our topic include paleolithic and neolithic age. So lets try to observe their world.
In paleolithic age, little rocks are key element for them. They use stone in lots of different manner. They try to shape the stone and time after time usage of material developed.

Neolithic age is much more different than Paleolithic age. When we look at Çatalhöyük, even there is no streets, they have order and because of their knowledge about using stone they process çatalhöyük's plan into rock. Also there are some drawings about their daily life in here. It is just a kind of saying that we are here. And this it can be accept as starting of architecture.

Also plan of the world is another quality in there: caves, rivers, lakes and other things can regarded as  architecture. So, we have architecture for so long. OLD STONE AGE ARCHITECTURE Both structures technology and rituel usage of architecture increase rapidly. Neanderthals and cro-magnons start to create some materials in these times.To protect themselves from air conditions, they use fur outside of the structures. Also they negotiate with nature in religion principles. This situation affect hunters directly. Death is a mysterious thing for them and architecture change in the shape of death and religion.

In greeks classical works we again encunter Myceneans' trace. And they built a lot of independence citadels and these kind of things. In literature Homer mention about this situation because Myceneans has overseas power in these times. Myceneans have also their own tradition and when they use form they give a name it and they use it in almost every buildings. They have both trade and militay power. And Myceneans reach this power thanks to location of Crete. Crete is the biggest aegean land and level of culture is really high in there. Myceneans has some difference when we compare with Greeks.
