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.

Entre 1920 et 1950, cette tradition s'est croisée avec de multiples apports dans la foulée des Arts déco et autres " néostyles " venus d'Europe. A sa façon, Badgad offre encore un paysage moderne cohérent, relativement préservé des destructions qui ont frappé tant de grandes villes dans les années Soixante-dix ou Quatre-vingts. L'habitat du XXe siècle y constitue un cadre urbain qui fut splendide et pourrait le redevenir. Ce livre présente un ensemble unique et inédit de documents anciens et de photographies récentes, hommage à un patrimoine captivant et méconnu.
