The tradition of the divanhane among the Turks first appeared in the palaces of the Qarakhaniyan, Ghaznavid and Great Seljuks. The tradition of the divanhane continued in Anatolia in the Seljuk palaces and kiosks and was al so widely embraced in Ottoman architecture. The classic Ottoman divanhane was one in which the preference was a three - iwan layout containing a domed fountain in the central space that led into the open area of the “sofa ” . The aim of this article is to pres ent the layout scheme of the “three - iwan” divanhane, which was one of the divanhane layouts of Ottoman architecture that was used as from the end of the 17th century, not only for pavilions and kiosks, but also in residential plans of mansions (konaks).

Tales of Tiles in Ottoman Empire
Colour: Design & Creativity (3) (2008): 9, 1–7 http://www.colour-journal.org/2008/3/9/ Tales of Tiles in Ottoman Empire Simten Gündeş, Melis Oktuğ and Deniz Özden* İstanbul Kültür University Art and Design Faculty, Ataköy Yerleşkesi, Bakırköy, İstanbul, Turkey *İstanbul University Fine Arts Department, Beyazıt, İstanbul, Turkey Email: [email protected] In this article the progress of Turkish tiling art during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods in Anatolia is discussed. Paralleling historical development, examples are given examples of tile techniques both on interior and exterior surfaces. Description of tiling development is given within a diachronic method analysing the original patterns and techniques as a sign of Anatolian civilisation. Introduction The origin of the word ‘tile’ comes from Persian noun phrase ‘Çin-I’ which means tiles manufactured in the Chinese style. The same word has been used in Turkish for glazed patterns or coloured panels. Tile art, that has a great importance in traditional Turkish art, has developed over several centuries. Tiles are widely used in the architecture of many Turkish, monuments, as well as other states in Asia. These developments and the signiﬁ cance of Turkish tile art are discussed below. Turkish settlement of Anatolia intensiﬁ ed after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. The Seljuk commander Kutalmışoğlu Süleyman Şah extended his conquests in Anatolia westward, taking Iznik from Byzantium in 1075. He made Iznik his capital and announced the independence of the Anatolian Seljuk state, which lasted until 1318, when the Ilkhanids wiped out the last Anatolian Seljuk sultanate. The present-day district of Sogut in the province of Bilecik is where, in the time of the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate, the beylik (principality) of the Osmanogullari was established in the year 1299 by Osman Bey.

Tahsin Öz and His Stylistic Restorations in Topkapı Palace Museum
ITU A|Z • Vol 15 No 3 • November 2018 • 1-12 Scraping the layers: Tahsin Öz and his stylistic restorations in Topkapı Palace Museum Burcu Selcen COŞKUN [email protected] • Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul, Turkey Received: January 2018 • Final Acceptance: September 2018 Abstract State-led heritage conservation was first experienced in Tanzimat Period in Ottoman Empire. State continued being the major custodian of cultural heritage throughout the 1950s. The general approach towards conservation of these early years was the maintenance of symbolic buildings that had been regarded as mon- uments. Yet, we can speak of a selective ideal of determining which monument to conserve and which period to exhibit. Starting his career as the chief accountant and later the deputy director of the Museum of Antiquities, Tahsin Öz was among the people who dominated the field of heritage preservation in the early Republican years. He acted throughout his life as an influential figure in decision making processes of heritage conservation. As one of the most important roles in his career, Öz was appointed as the director of Topkapı Palace Museum, which became a museum in 1924 with the approval of the young parliament. Although much neglected and in need of urgent repair, the buildings of the palace were still witnesses of the 19th century Ottoman taste. Un- til 1953, he was responsible and in charge of some rather ambitious restorations, which favored to erase the traces of one period and return back to a specific one. This paper aims to introduce the controversial approaches of Öz in Topkapi Palace Museum with an overview of what he realized and wrote, and focus simul- taneously on the atmosphere of preservation in Turkey until 1950s with voices of intellectuals and professionals supporting or disagreeing his decisions.

MACBETH PERIOD; OTTOMAN EMPIRE (The Reign of Suleyman the Magnificent)
MACBETH PERIOD; OTTOMAN EMPIRE (The Reign of Suleyman the Magnificent) MUSTAFA OZMEN Brief history The Ottoman Empire was an empire founded in 1299. The Ottomans ended the Byzantine Empire with the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) by Mehmed the Conqueror in 1453. My adaption of Macbeth will be set in Constantinople during the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent (1520 – 1566), at which time the Ottoman Empire was at the height of its power, Suleyman the Magnificent (portrait being multinational, multilingual and controlling attributed to Titian – 1530) much of southeast Europe and also parts of Asia and Africa. Iconography The first part of my research was looking at how this period of history was told by the artists of the time. I looked at paintings and drawings which gave me an idea of colour schemes/ palettes. They also include parts of the architecture of the period, both interior and exterior. Sinan and the chief architects planning (possibly Suleymaniye mosque) Suleyman with Hayreddin Pasha Calligraphy The Ottomans resembled their predecessors in Iran and Central Asia by seeing the written word as a matter of tradition. Calligraphy was important for day to day manuscript production. In many cases it also is an important design element both in architecture and armory. Tugra of Suleyman the Magnificent Calligraphy elsewhere Goldsmiths work/ Ornaments/ Jewellery Looking at these ornaments gave me an understanding of the grandness of the sultanates lifestyle, his surroundings etc. Furniture and woodwork Arms and Armour Sword of Suleyman Swords Daggers Clothing of the sultans/ princes Carpets Architecture The architecture of the Ottoman Empire began to develop in the 14th and 15th centuries, and was influenced by Byzantine architecture, Iranian architecture and other Turkic traditions that developed after the fall of Constantinople.

Agricultural and Social Gardens in Topkapı Sarayı, 1453-1800
Edible Landscape: Agricultural and Social Gardens in Topkapı Sarayı, 1453-1800 Marita White A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts University of Washington 2017 Committee: Selim Kuru Hamza Zafer Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations 1 © 2017 Marita White 2 University of Washington Abstract Edible Landscape: Agricultural and Social Gardens in Topkapı Sarayı, 1453-1800 Marita White Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Selim Kuru Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations This paper uses Topkapı Sarayı as a case study to assess how the Ottoman elite transformed built- spaces and green spaces into social and culinary spheres. Topkapı Sarayı was divided into four courtyards, with each courtyard fulfilling a specific function. By examining the layout of Topkapı Sarayı, this paper identifies specific gardens and determines their function based on their proximity to other structures. The gardens of the First Courtyard were the most accessible to the public and were therefore used for receiving officials and as a venue for ceremonies that involved feasting and displaying exotic animals. The Second Courtyard, which contained the Imperial Kitchens, was used for growing edible produce. The Third Courtyard housed the sultan’s private chambers as well as gardens for socializing and eating daily meals. The Fourth Courtyard, which extended all the way to the shore, was filled with kiosks used for entertainment, socialization, celebration, and feasting. By utilizing travel accounts, Ottoman book paintings, maps, and an analysis of the existing structures, this paper seeks to define Ottoman gardens as social, culinary spaces.

WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Sultanahmet Built in 1459 as the primary residence of the Ottoman Sultans for approximately 400 years (1465-1856). Libidinoultans, ambitious courtiers, beautiful concubines and scheming eunuchs lived and worked Mehmed II, Alaüddin, here between the 15th and 19th centuries when it was the court of Davud Ağa, Mimar the Ottoman empire. A visit to the palace's opulent pavilions, jewel- ***** Topkapı Palace Sultanahmet, Eminönü Sinan and Sarkis filled Treasury and sprawling Harem gives a fascinating glimpse into Balyan their lives.

Proposal for Turkey As the Site for the ICFAD 2014 Triennial International Symposium Late June to Mid-July
Proposal for Turkey as the site for the ICFAD 2014 Triennial International Symposium Late June to Mid-July Submitted by: Sue Ott Rowlands, Dean, College of Liberal Arts & Human Sciences, Virginia Tech Proposed location: Istanbul, Turkey What is unique about the setting including special events during mid-July? "There, God and human, nature and art are together, they have created such a perfect place that it is valuable to see." The French poet, Alphonse de Lamartine, revealed his love for Istanbul in this line, which also provides a compelling reason for ICFAD to hold its 2014 Triennial International Symposium in the city that embraces two continents, one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe. Istanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities, has many unique features. Not only is it the only city in the world to straddle two continents, it is the only one to have been a capital during two consecutive empires - Christian and Islamic. Once capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul still remains the commercial, historical and cultural pulse of Turkey, and its beauty lies in its ability to embrace its contradictions. Ancient and modern, religious and secular, Asia and Europe, mystical and earthly all co-exist in Istanbul. Its variety is one of Istanbul’s greatest attractions: the ancient mosques, palaces, museums and bazaars reflect its diverse history. A number of festivals are held each year in July, including: International Istanbul Jazz Festival, which presents a remarkable variety of music, ranging from traditional and contemporary jazz to rock, electronica and world music (held in venues throughout the city) International Istanbul Opera Festival, held annually in July presents opera at various venues, including the Topkapi Palace in Sultahnamet, the ‘Old City.’ Eurasia Culture Festival, which celebrates cultures from around the world and brings people together through the arts.
