Abstract
Anatolian rug designs are known to have a number of historical and aesthetic values. They certainly constitute a large portion of the body of existing oriental carpets. This study assumes that through an analytical investigation of their space; it will be easier for scholars to appreciate and comprehend the Anatolian rugs in relation to their relevant layout, which will enable making new rug layouts with similar aesthetic values. Through a studious analysis of symbols used in Anatolian rugs, and comparing the use of space in the Anatolian and contemporary rug, a better understanding can be achieved of the sense and taste of aesthetics and ratio to spacing that would help predict the changes in carpet and rug spacing, so that new rug and carpet spacing methods can be introduced in a way that appeals to consumers. This study aims to analyze the layout of Anatolian rugs in accordance to design basics; to help designers to better understand and develop rug layouts in a systematic way. Along with studying the layouts, the focal standpoint of this study undergoes an artistic analysis of oriental rugs, covering discussions in various original studies and data sources. Furthermore, the research aims to further explore the motives related to the design and development of these rugs. The present study has managed to position symbols according to rug layouts and according to historical arrangement, considering time they started to realize according to the design basics, using the theoretical and analytical methodology available. This makes the exploration and discovery of the relation between Anatolian rugs layouts development throughout history very straightforward.
