Initial Ideas

The influence of the building may be derived from several classical languages but I will create my own forms just like how Neo-classical Architects took cues from Greco-Roman Architecture and made a new style, this was also done in the Baroque, Palladian, Art deco and Gothic periods. These all took their ideas initially or were influenced by Greek and roman architecture to create a new language.

Mimar Sinan is considered the greatest Ottoman architect with his master pieces he transformed the landscape of Istanbul as well as other Turkish cities and was responsible for over 370 structures. Sinan was considered to be the architect who pushed the dome beyond its limits making the largest dome ever seen through out the Christian and Islamic world as his genius enabled him to tackle the problems that came with construction. His work is highly influential to me because of the profusion of domes and simple but yet complex architecture.  Examples of these are the Sehzadebasi Mosque made of marble, Ashlar and Granite, and the Süleymaniye Mosque consisting of granites, marbles, limestones and others  Sehzadebasi Mosque Ariel photograph of  Süleymaniye Mosque Reference list: Britannica, (n.d.), Sinan Ottoman Architect.
