Social, cultural, and architectural changes began to take place with the reforms implemented during and after the Republican period. At the same time, reinforced concrete, steel, glass, geometric shapes, and forms that had influenced buildings during the modern movement in European countries began to affect traditional architecture in Türkiye. In the following period, efforts were made to ensure that public buildings in Türkiye reflected the influence of modernity. Traces of this trend can be seen in the domestic projects planned and constructed after the founding of the Republic. Like public libraries, museum buildings were designed by the Ministry of National Education and built in certain regions. These buildings, described as works of modern architectural heritage, are being adapted to present-day conditions. In this study, museum buildings used as archetypal projects are analyzed in the context of spatial arrangement using computational methods. Existing museum plans are evaluated in terms of visibility, visual integration, and connectivity. The results show that visibility is concentrated along the main circulation route connecting the entrance/lobby with the exhibition spaces. The archetypal plan has the highest mean Visual Integration [HH] value (6.409), while Alanya (4.947) retains a closer integration pattern to the archetypal scheme than Gaziantep (3.277) and Edirne (3.228). The archetypal plan also has the highest mean Connectivity value (38.457). Based on these findings, suggestions for future museum planning are presented. The study contributes to the literature by providing a quantitative comparison of the spatial organization of archetypal museum projects in Türkiye and by showing how a common architectural scheme exhibits different visual–spatial characteristics in its existing examples.
