How did Anatolian Seljuq madrasahs transform the traditional courtyard plan?

In Anatolian Seljuq architecture, the traditional courtyard plan of the madrasah underwent a significant transformation by converting the open central courtyard into a covered, domed space.1

While this modification enclosed the central area, architects maintained the use of the eyvān (a vaulted hall or space, open on one side). This design choice made the centralized aspect of the eyvān plan architecturally explicit, creating a more unified and enclosed interior environment compared to the open-court models found elsewhere in the Islamic world. This development is notably exemplified in structures such as the Karatay and Ince Minare medreses in Konya.1
