Summary:
Catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition "Ottoman architecture of the 16th century: mosques of Sinan. Drawings by Augusto Romano Burelli and Paola Gennaro", september-november 2008, Frankfurt, Deutsches Architekturmuseum. The architect (1489-1588) was a master mosque builder who employed perfect proportions to create astonishing lightness in architecture--especially in his gravity-defying cupolas. He is renowned for having borrowed Roman and Byzantine techniques in order to create something new in mosque design--centralized organisms of absolute space, unhindered by pillars or columns. This beautifully illustrated volume, which features stunning reconstructed architectural renderings and diagrams, is the first to fully analyze his method.
