Sinan : Ottoman Architecture and its Values Today
Editorial Reviews
Review
'. . . fills a serious gap and fills it eloquently. Like Brunelleschi in Italy a century earlier, Sinan transformed architecture and needs to be discussed in terms of form, space and light, which the book does brilliantly.' --Sherban Cantacuzino, Secretary of the Royal Fine Art Commission, London and former editor of 'The Architectural Review'
'Sinan is the culmination of Goodwin's achievement, a book which no one who loves Turkey should miss.' --The Financial Times
'At last, Ottoman architectural history with an architect's eye . . . An important study, showing Sinan in the context of the European architecture of his time.' --Professor J. M. Rogers, School of Oriental and African Studies, London
'Goodwin writes about the very stuff of architecture . . . Scholarship is certainly there, but what for me is impressive is the way the author confronts us with the extraordinary imagination of this great innovator, artist and architect.' --Sir Philip Dowson, Former President of the Royal Institute of British Architects
