Abstract

Patricia Blessing’s Architecture and Material Politics in the Fifteenth-Century Ottoman Empire explores fifteenth-century Ottoman architecture in Anatolia and the Balkans. Her inquiry attempts to map the networks of patrons, architects, and artisans and to portray the architectural and decorative styles in the lands of Rum within this era. The book argues that fifteenth-century Ottoman architecture was enriched by the Saljuqid, Timurid, Mamluk, and Byzantine architectural cultures, and it was shaped by multiple actors with diverse backgrounds within an environment where cross-cultural contacts played a crucial role.

Abstract

Patricia Blessing’in Architecture and Material Politics in the Fifteenth-Century Ottoman Empire (On Beşinci Yüzyıl Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Mimarlık ve Maddi Politika) kitabı, Anadolu ve Balkanlar’daki on beşinci yüzyıl Osmanlı mimarisini inceliyor. Çalışma, söz konusu dönemdeki hâmi, zanaatkâr ve mimarların bir haritasını çıkarmayı ve Rumi coğrafyadaki mimari üslup ve süsleme tarzlarını tasvir etmeyi hedefliyor. Kitapta, bu dönemdeki Osmanlı mimarisinin Selçuklu, Timurlu, Memluk ve Bizans mimari kültürlerinden beslendiği ve kültürler arası temasın önemli bir rol oynadığı bir ortamda, farklı aktörler tarafından şekillendirildiği savunuluyor.
