Hi,
In this blog, I will be writing my research about Mimar Sinan.
MIMAR SINAN
Mimar Sinan
Sinan (also known as Koca Sinan, Sinan Abdulmemnan, and ) is the most well-known architect of the pre-modern Islamic world, and probably the most well-documented person. Sinan oversaw the design and construction of at least 476 structures at the Ottoman Empire's peak, 196 of which have lasted till the twenty-first century. Sinan's work evolved over the course of his long career as he created unique proportional methods for space structuring; he is best recognized for designing numerous huge, spatially innovative domed mosque complexes.

The reason why I have chosen to research this artist is that my project theme is an oriental surprise and it is mainly focused on the ottoman (Turkish) oriental designs. This artist was an architect during the ottoman empire and has added his own designs in each of his buildings as in the image shown above. I also really like how he has built the building all so unique and then added unique designs on the insides as well.
