Más información sobre el libro

Sinan's name has come to represent the essence of Ottoman architecture. He lived at a time when the Empire was at its zenith both in terms of political power and artistic production.Indeed, Sinan's achievements throughout the Empire and especially in Istanbul have never been equaled.Most of the buildings designed by Sinan, and certainly his most outstanding ones, were built in Istanbul.These works seem to have been developed during an architectural contest, so rich are they in novel ideas and innovations.They were also most adequately topographically located, greatly contributing to the city's unique skyline.With such a range of highly original examples, Istanbul was practically turned into an open-air museum.
