This book is an attempt to outline the development of art and architecture in Anatolia. While covering the works made possible by this genius who holds an unsurpassed position in the history of Turkey, as well as the handicrafts of the same period, each in their own sections, the book tries to highlight both the architectural currents existing prior to Sinan and those architectural creations in Post-Sinan periods that remained faithful to his legacy. The final section rounds out by discussing such traditional art forms as woodworking, metal working, tilemaking, cloth, miniatures, carpets, hat (calligraphy) and tezhip ("gold gilding" or "illumination"), which served as complementary elements of architecture.

This vibrantly illustrated volume chronicles nearly a millennium of Islamic art and architecture in Turkey. Illustrated with some 250 attractive and well-chosen color photographs, Turkish Art and Architecture is fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in Turkey, and an essential reference for any student of Islamic art and architecture. The Anatolian peninsula, one of the oldest seats of civilization, has been ruled by a succession of great powers, including the Romans and their successors in the East, the Byzantines. Its Islamic era began in 1071, when the Seljuk Turks, nomads from Central Asia who had already taken control of Persia, defeated the Byzantine army at Manzikert and moved west, creating a new sultanate in Anatolia. The Seljuks were eventually succeeded in this region by the Ottoman Turks, who crossed the Bosphorus to conquer an exhausted Constantinople in 1453, and went on to extend their power far beyond the borders of modern Turkey, establishing an empire that endured until the early twentieth century. Ruling over a land that had always been at the crossroads of east and west, these Islamic dynasties developed a cosmopolitan art and architecture. As art historian Giovanni Curatola demonstrates in this insightful new book, they combined elements of the prestigious Persian style and memories of their nomadic past with local Mediterranean traditions, and also adopted local building materials, such as stone and wood. Curatola introduces us first to the new types of buildings introduced by the Seljuks?like the caravansary and the türbe, or mausoleum?and then to the sophisticated architectural achievements of the Ottomans, which culminated in the great domed mosques constructed by the master builder Mimar Sinan (d. 1588). He also traces the history of the decorative arts in Turkey, which included lavishly ornamented carpets, manuscripts, armor, and ceramics.

Many architectural features in Turkey are similar to those in Iran. Both countries have mosques, baazaars, and residences built by the use of bricks. The historic city of Istanbul, however, lies in the European part of Turkey and, therefore, has many architectural features similar to European countries. A comparative, pictorial introduction of the architectural features in Istanbul ( Turkey) to the architectural featues in the historic cities of Iran is the main focus of this volume, titled: A Comparative, Pictorial Introduction of Art and Architecture in Turkey (Istanbul) and Iran

Turkey: Modern Architectures in History offers a journey through the iconic buildings of Turkey that begins with the end of World War I, when the new Turkish Republic was born out of the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, includes its democratization in the midst of the Cold War’s competing ideologies, and concludes with the present day, in which Turkey continues to be dramatically transformed through globalization, economic integration, and a renewed appreciation for its Islamic and Ottoman heritage. Sibel Bozdogan and Esra Akcan explore modern institutional masterpieces and architect-designed buildings through the decades. Their focus includes informal residential plans, and they discuss how these have evolved from small settlements to colossal urban quarters that exist at a slippery threshold of legality. This richly informative history of Turkey’s built environment goes beyond typical surveys of Western modern architecture and is unique in tackling the issue of the modern and contemporary periods that are often omitted in studies of Islamic art and architecture. Offering a perceptive overview of modern Turkish architecture, this book places it within the larger social, political, and cultural context of the country’s development as a modern nation in the twentieth century.

Architecture and urban planning have always been used by political regimes to stamp their ideologies upon cities, and this is especially the case in the modern Turkish Republic. By exploring Istanbul's modern architectural and urban history, Murat Gul highlights the dynamics of political and social change in Turkey from the late-Ottoman period until today. Looking beyond pure architectural styles or the physical manifestations of Istanbul's cultural landscape, he offers critical insight into how Turkish attempts to modernise have affected both the city and its population. Charting the diverse forces evident in Istanbul's urban fabric, the book examines late Ottoman reforms, the Turkish Republic's turn westward for inspiration, Cold War alliances and the AK Party's reaffirmation of cultural ties with the Middle East and the Balkans. Telltale signs of these moments - revivalist architecture drawing on Ottoman and Seljuk styles, 1930s Art Deco, post-war International Style buildings and the proliferation of shopping malls, luxurious gated residences and high-rise towers, for example - are analysed and illustrated in extensive detail.Connecting this rich history to present-day Istanbul, whose urban development is characterised anew by intense social stratification, the book will appeal to researchers of Turkey, its architecture and urban planning.

Architectural features, such as the forms, designs, and decorations of buildings, are major attractions for all people around world. Although a few thousand years ago, very few individuals were able to travel to other nations, at the present a majority of populations are able to travel to other countries to get knowledge about other cultures, other peoples, and other architectural features. Today, millions of people travel to other countries just to see how peoples, foods, living environments, and forms and designs of buildings in other countries look like. The present series is a contribution to make available for all people around the world to see in pictures the architectural features (i. e., forms, designs, decorations of buildings) in selected countries. It is a comparative, pictorial introduction of architectural features in six selected countries to show the talents, skills, and masterships of builders in creation of architectural forms and designs in the selected countries. More specifically, there are two main architectural styles in Europe (--as well as in mountainous countries such as Armenia and Georgia, ) and in Iran. While a stone architecture is common in Europe and in the mountainous countries, a clay architecture is used in Iran. A comparative display of the two styles, the stone vs. clay architecture, therefore, is the main theme of the series titled: A Comparative Display Of Art And Architecture. The third volume of this series is about architectural styles in Turkey [ Turkiye ] (Istanbul) and Iran. Using a functional-equivalency approach, the series focuses on architectural features from Europe and mountainous countries and Iran that, while structurally are different, functionally are similar or have similarity with each other. For example, both a church and a mosque are religious buildings with similar functions but with different structures. Although there are numerous published books about art and architecture in Europe or in Iran separately, but none makes a comparative introduction using a functional- equivalency approach. The present series, therefore, should be regarded as the first original work that seeks to present a comparative, pictorial introduction of two different architectural styles, stone vs. clay architectural styles, by displaying their main features side by side. For example, the illustrations are grouped into several categories (Introduction) [ i. e, 1) Historic or Heritage Buildings; 2) Stone (Khachkar) vs. Brick or Tile decorations; and 3) Religious Buildings: Churches vs. Jam'a mosques]. (Otherwise, assuming that the images collected and presented in this volume are also presented randomly in some other books about art and architecture in Armenia or in Iran, an estimated 50 to 100 books on the subjects of art and architecture in either Turkey (Turkiye) or Iran should be browsed over, here or there, to find similar images collected in this volume.) Volume III of this series compares architectural features in Turkey [ Turkiye ] (Istanbul) to similar, clay architectural features in Iran. Many architectural features in Turkey are similar to those in Iran. Both countries have mosques, baazaars, and residences built by the use of bricks. The historic city of Istanbul, however, lies in the European part of Turkey and, therefore, has many architectural features similar to European countries. The work is expected to make available for the readers a quick and an easy comparative views of the architectural forms and designs in Turkey (Istanbul) as compared to their similar, clay architectural features in historic cities of Iran.

Architectural historian and philosopher Bozdogan began planning this study while she was researching her book on Turkish architect Sedad Hakki Eldem. Now based in Boston, she situates Turkish architecture during the early decades of the 20th century within the contexts of nationalist impulses and modern architecture in western culture generally.
