Sinan was the greatest architect of the Ottoman Golden Age of the
sixteenth century - when the Ottoman Empire reached its zenith of
power and magnificence. His style marks the apogee of Turkish art.
Under Suleyman the Magnificent and his succcessor Selmi II, Sinan
designed hundreds of buildings: mosques, palaces, tombs, mausolea,
hospitals, schools, caravanserai, bridges, aqueducts and baths,
many of them presented and analysed in this book. In his greatest
works, he adapted Byzantine and Islamic styles to produce something
quite new: a centralized organization of absolute space unhindered
by pillars or columns and covered by a soaring dome. An architect
of genius in a dynamic new empire expanding into both Asia and
Europe, he was a true man of the Renaissance.
