MİMAR SİNAN & ZAHA HADİD

BURAK CAN OĞUZ

DİLEK DENİZLİ

MİMAR (ARCHİTECT) SİNAN

He is an architect who grew up in one of the most splendid periods of the Ottoman State, and who contributed to this era with his works.

Various sources state that Sinan was the architect of around 360 structures which included 84 mosques, 51 small mosques (“mescit”), 57 schools of theology (“medrese”) 7 schools for Koran reciters (“darülkurra”), 22 mausoleums (“türbe”), 17 Alm Houses (“imaret”), 3 hospitals (“darüşşifa”), 7 aquaducts and arches, 48 inns (“Caravansary”), 35 palaces and mansions, 8 vaults and 46 baths. Sinan, who held the position of chief architect of the palace, which meant being the top manager of construction works of the Ottoman Empire, for nearly 50 years, worked with a large team of assistants consisting of architects and master builders.

OUR SOLUTION

The development and maturing stages of Sinan can be marked with three major works. The first two of these are in İstanbul – Şehzade Mosque which he calls his apprenticeship period work, Süleymaniye Mosque which is the work of his qualification stage, and Selimiye Mosque in Edirne the product of his master stage. Şehzade Mosque is the first of the grand mosques Sinan has created. Mihriman Sultan Mosque which is also known as the Üsküdar Quay Mosque was completed in the same year and has an original design with its main dome supported by three half domes. When Sinan reached the age of 70, he had completed the Süleymaniye Mosque and the Complex. This building, situated on one of the hills of Istanbul facing the Golden horn, and built in the name of Süleyman the Magnificent, is one of the symbolic monuments of the period. The diameter of the dome which exceeds 31 meters at Selimiye Mosque which Sinan completed when he was 80, is the most significant example of the level of achievement Sinan reached in architecture. Mimar Sinan has reached his artistic summit with the design, architecture, tile decorations, land stone workmanship displayed at Selimiye.

SELİMİYE MOSQUE

SÜLEYMANİYE MOSQUE

Another area of architecture where Sinan delivered unique projects are the mausoleums. Mausoleum of Şehzade Mehmed gets attention with its exterior decorations and sliced dome. Rüstem Paşa mausoleum is a very attractive structure in classical style. The mausoleum of Süleyman the Magnificent which is one of his interesting experimentations has an octagonal body and flat dome. Selim II Mausoleum with has a square plan and is one of the best examples of Turkish mausoleum architecture. Sinan’s own mausoleum which is located at the north – east part of the Süleymaniye complex on the other hand, is a very plain structure.

OUR PROJECTS

TOPKAPI THE PALACE

PROJECT 1

Sinan, in the bridges he built, has masterfully combined art with functionalism. The largest of his work in this group is the nearly 635 m. long Büyükçekmece Bridge. Other significant examples are Ailivri Bridge, Lüleburgaz (Sokollu Mehmet Pasha) Bridge on Lüleburgaz River, Sinanlı Bridge over Ergene River and Drina Bridge which has became the title of the famous novel of Yugoslav author İvo Andriç.

While Sinan was maintaining and improving the water supply system of İstanbul, he has built arched aqueducts at several ********s within the city. Mağlova Arch over Alibey River, which is 257 meter long, 35 meters high and displaying two layers of arches is one of the best samples of its kind.

ZAHA HADİD

Zaha Hadid’s pioneering vision redefined architecture for the 21st

century and captured imaginations across the globe. Each of her

projects transformed notions of what can be achieved in concrete,

steel, and glass; combining her unwavering optimism for the future and

belief in the power of invention with advanced design, material and

construction innovations.

Many architects are called on to create new projects that stand as

symbols of social progress—but none delivered as regularly, as

unexpectedly and as spectacularly as Zaha Hadid. Her successes were

so consistent, she received the highest honours from civic, academic

and professional institutions across the globe. Her practice remains

one of the world’s most inventive architectural studios—and has been

for almost 40 years.

Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Zaha Hadid studied mathematics at the

American University of Beirut before moving to London in 1972 to

attend the Architectural Association (AA) School where she received

the Diploma Prize in 1977.

Hadid taught at the AA School until 1987 and held numerous chairs

and guest professorships at universities around the world including

Columbia, Harvard, Yale and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

She founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979 and was awarded the

Pritzker Architecture Prize (considered the Nobel Prize of architecture)

in 2004.

Experiencing Hadid’s architecture yields an understanding that the

quest for beauty alone was not her modus operandi. Her buildings are

beautiful—and beauty may account for their seductive urban presence,

for their hold on the eye—but the beauty and virtuosity within her work

is married to meaning. Her architecture is inventive, original and civic,

offering generous public spaces that are clearly organized and intuitive

to navigate
