Take for instance the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. The designs use stunning materials – from imported stone to precious metals and treated wood. Step inside the beautiful Ayssofya in Istanbul to experience one of the Ottoman Empire’s most remarkable designs. Once a church and now a mosque, its dome shape was considered to be outlandish and daring in the 6th century and it has been the model for countless other Ottoman Turkish mosques since. Most of the building serves as a museum today, but there is a small prayer room which is still accessible.
If you love Ottoman design, make sure the Topkapi Palace makes it on your itinerary. The palace served as a royal residence to various dignitaries and so its design and aesthetic had to be suitable for kings. The asymmetrical structure is not the original design but comes from the various sultans adding to the design throughout the years. There are a number of secret passage ways to be explored and other privacy aspects, created to allow the sultan an amount of discretion. Lose yourself for hours in its wonderful labyrinthine structure, as the palace is now a museum.
