Course Content
This seminar is designed primarily for graduate students specializing in Ottoman architecture who already have some knowledge in the field. It aims at providing them with an overview of – and a critical approach to - scholarship and historiography, and with the skills to pursue a contextual examination of classical Ottoman architecture (ca. 1450-1600). Selected works of architecture are evaluated in their social, political, cultural, and institutional contexts, and in the comparative framework of architecture in order Islamic empires and in Europe. The specific topics of discussion change each semester. Particular attention is paid to relevant primary sources.
