    i SAINT g SOPHIA Ä MUSEUM TÜRKİYE TURİNG VE OTOMOBİL KURUMU YAYINI t t- y SAINT SOPHIA MUSEUM FERİDUN DİRİMTEKİN TOURING AND AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF TURKEY ISTANBUL Ş.İ-- MESSAGE TO TRAVELLERS COMING TO ISTANBUL Istanbul is, without a doubt, the only city in the world which adds to its incomparable natural beauties, so admirably described by numerous writers such as Lamartine, Théophile Gautier, Henri de Régnier and Loti, not simple vestiges, but intact mas­ terpieces of so many different civili­ zations; the only city in the world which, since over fifteen centuries, has uninterruptedly been not only the capital of the largest states, but the center of gravity of the synthesis of both European and Asian art. While the whole of Turkey is a land of legends and history which preserves imperishable souvenirs from Antioch and Tarsus to Ephesus, from Konya to Edirne, of Christianity as well as of Islam, Istanbul embraces in its bosom live images of the most brilliant periods of the Roman, By­ zantine and Turco-Ottoman Empires. Istanbul is not, such as certain other cities of the Orient a city of myths which childish imaginations nebuloously evoke. It is a city of poe­ tic reality or of real poetry, of beauty, of harmony and of majesty which are actually alive, visible, tangible. In no other metropolis of the old continent, including Rome and At­ hens, can one observe, study and compare simultaneous, side by side in one expanse, the most varied ma­ nifestations of social and artistic evo­ lutions throughout the centuries. With St. Sophia -splendid Byzan tine edifice of the VI th Century built by two Anatolian architects, restored several times and surprisingly well preserved by the Turks- and the mag- nific'ent Suleymaniye - which, like all imperial mosques, towers, in its so­ ber majesty, over its numerous ap­ purtenances which form a vast city of schools, libraries, hospitals, hotels, ppblic kitchens, caravanserais, hans, mausoleums, baths and fountains - Is­ tanbul obviously remains the world’s richest center of historical monu­ ments.

  • Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth
    A Changing Mosaic: Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth-Century Sicily by Dana Katz A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Dana Katz 2016 A Changing Mosaic: Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth-Century Sicily by Dana Katz Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the twelfth-century residences associated with the Norman Hautevilles in the parklands that surrounded their capital at Palermo. One of the best-preserved ensembles of medieval secular architecture, the principal monuments are the palaces of La Zisa and La Cuba, the complexes of La Favara and Lo Scibene, the hunting lodge at Parco, and the palace at Monreale. The Norman conquest of Sicily in the previous century dramatically altered the local population’s religious and cultural identity. Nevertheless, an Islamic legacy persisted in the park architecture, arranged on axial plans with waterworks and ornamented with muqarnas vaults. By this time, the last Norman king, William II, and his court became aligned with contemporaries in the Latin West, and Muslims became marginalized in Sicily. Part One examines the modern “discovery” and reception of the twelfth-century palaces. As secular examples built in an Islamic mode, they did not fit preconceived paradigms of medieval Western architecture in the scholarly literature, greatly endangering their preservation. My examination reconstructs the vast landscape created by the Norman kings, who modified their surroundings on a monumental scale. Water in the parklands was harnessed to provide for ii artificial lakes and other waterscapes onto which the built environment was sited.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Water Archıtectures in the Ottoman Empıre, Examples from Antalya By Hacer Mutlu Danacı & Ceren Özata Akdeniz University Abstract- In the historical process, water structures have been developed in every period. In the Ottoman era, examples of water structures were constructed in accordance with the increasing political and economic power of the state. These developments are not simultaneous in Istanbul and in Anatolia. The classical style of Ottoman architecture that uses function and decoration in a balanced way is also seen in Anatolian water structures. Before Ottoman domination, Antalya, which is located on the southwest of Anatolia, was under the control of the Romans, Byzantines, Anatolian Seljuks, Cypriot states and the Principalities of Teke and Hamidids. This study will provide an analysis of exemplary evidence on water structures in the Ottoman period in the historical process in Rumelia and Anatolia and some examples of water structures in Antalya.” Keywords: water structure, architecture, ottoman, antalya.
