Kündekari
Kundekari is a form of carpentry which marks the highest level of
craft found in Classical Turkish interiors, going back a millennium
if not longer. It consists of interlocking wooden tongue-and-groove
elements which evolved from what was initially a collapsible framework
to solid wooden planks incorporated into a fixed scheme.
The technique’s traditional role through architectonic character and
cultural symbolism provides a perfect fit with the requirements of the
Turkish Nationality Room’s design. Kundekari is a disappearing craft.
Consequently, its contemporary use is anything but straightforward.
