_Sinan: A Great Ottoman Architect and Urban Designer

By Rabab Saoud

Description

Mimār Koca Sinān, the” Great Architect Sinān”, was born in Anatolia, Turkey in 1489; he died in Istanbul in 1588. Generally considered the greatest of all Ottoman architects, Sinān’s career spanned about fifty years since he was appointed chief royal architect to the Ottoman court by Sultan Suleyman I in 1539. His great mosques are the archetypal image of Turkish Ottoman architecture.
