Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kishwar Rizvi, drawing on the multifaceted history of the Middle East, offers a richly illustrated analysis of the role of transnational mosques in the construction of contemporary Muslim identity. As Rizvi explains, transnational mosques are structures built through the support of both government sponsorship, whether in the home country or abroad, and diverse transnational networks. By concentrating on mosques--especially those built at the turn of the twenty-first century--as the epitome of Islamic architecture, Rizvi elucidates their significance as sites for both the validation of religious praxis and the construction of national and religious ideologies. Rizvi delineates the transnational religious, political, economic, and architectural networks supporting mosques in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as in countries within their spheres of influence, such as Pakistan, Syria, and Turkmenistan. She discerns how the buildings feature architectural designs that traverse geographic and temporal distances, gesturing to far-flung places and times for inspiration. Digging deeper, however, Rizvi reveals significant diversity among the mosques--whether in a Wahabi-Sunni kingdom, a Shi&8219;i theocratic government, or a republic balancing secularism and moderate Islam--that repudiates representations of Islam as a monolith. Mosques reveal alliances and contests for influence among multinational corporations, nations, and communities of belief, Rizvi shows, and her work demonstrates how the built environment is a critical resource for understanding culture and politics in the contemporary Middle East and the Islamic world.

Book excerpt: The sixteenth century Ottoman architect Sinan is today universally recognized as the defining figure in the development of the classical Ottoman style. In addition to his vast oeuvre, he left five remarkable autobiographical accounts, the so-called "Adsiz Risale", the "Risaletu'l-Mi'mariyye", "Tuhfetu'l-Mi'marin", "Tezkiretu'l-Mi'mariyye" and "Tezkiretu'l-Bunyan" that provide details of his life and works. Based on information dictated by Sinan to his poet friend Mustafa Sa'i Celebi shortly before his death, they exist in multiple manuscript versions in libraries in Istanbul, Ankara, and Cairo. The present volume contains critical editions of all five texts, along with transcriptions, annotated translations, facsimiles of the most important variant versions, and an introductory essay that analyzes the various surviving manuscripts, reconstructs their histories, and establishes the relationships between them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bathhouses (hamams) play a prominent role in Turkish culture, because of their architectural value and social function as places of hygiene, relaxation and interaction. Continuously shaped by social and historical change, the life story of Mimar Sinan's Cemberlitas HamamA in Istanbul provides an important example: established in 1583/4, it was modernized during the Turkish Republic (since 1923) and is now a tourist attraction. As a social space shared by tourists and Turks, it is a critical site through which to investigate how global tourism affects local traditions and how places provide a nucleus of cultural belonging in a globalized world. This original study, taking a biographical approach to tell the story of a Turkish bathhouse, contributes to the fields of Islamic, Ottoman and modern Turkish cultural, architectural, social and economic history.

This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest “Research-Narrative” book, Nural Denker delves into the ancestral journey of Turks, tracing their encounters with Arab civilization before arriving in Anatolia and their subsequent interactions with the ancient cultures of Armenians and Syrians. Denker elucidates how these encounters naturally influenced them, gradually shaping them into Anatolians as they embraced Islam in a distinct manner. Their absorption of the Byzantine Empire is portrayed as a transformation process deeply intertwined with identity. Upon venturing into European territories, Turks advanced, at times engaging in conflict with unknown forces, while the fusion of identity through interaction with others emerged, often evoking fear, yet occasionally left an indelible mark on the enigmatic realm of the East, yet they have now seamlessly integrated into the Old World. While emphasizing the fact that not every idea, innovation, or change could reach every corner of the colossal Ottoman Empire, the author narrates the consequences of this development and interaction that we still experience today as if conducting a cultural archeological excavation, particularly highlighting how the remnants of Securianian culture are the shared legacy of the aged Ottoman Empire and the young Turkish Republic.
