Abstract

Bazaars have a special meaning in the countries of the Middle East region, especially Iran and Turkey, which have a deep-rooted history in bazaar construction. No bazaar has been built without a purpose or without considering its performance. Bazaars form the backbone of cities. In addition, the bazaars mentioned in the study, the architecture of the region, reflects the dynamic and progressive internal features called identity. Due to the architectural features of the historical bazaars and their strategic geographical location, they left effective traces on the east-west trade route on the Silk Road. Bazaars with traditional architecture play an important role in the daily life of cities, in the past and today, with their different architectural features. In the research, library, and field research were conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach to understand the features, characteristics, and physical and social relationships in the spatial formation of the selected area in the commercial areas of Tabriz and Istanbul. Analysis was made by considering graphs, tables, or detailed information about architectural spaces.
