This book is the first visual and historical study of the development of Art Nouveau architecture, and it surprisingly places Istanbul among such cities as Paris, Brussels, and Vienna as one of the great capitals of the style. This unprecedented study traces the transformation of Istanbul between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of World War I. Discussed in depth are the Ottoman Revival and beaux-arts and other European influences on the style, as well as its foremost practitioners. Many never before published photographs, plans, and drawings of Istanbul's palaces and luxurious homes make this a unique view into the architecture of the city in particular and of the Art Nouveau style in general.
With the start of the Period of Westernization in Ottoman architecture at the beginning of the 18th century, not only palaces and shoreside residences of the sultans, but also kiosks (köşk), mansions (konak), summer pavilions (kasır), and other civil structures such as waterfront residences (yalı) came under the influence of European styles in interior decoration. A significant movement in civil architecture began in this period and it was first the Baroque, Rocaille and Empire styles that made their imprint on Ottoman structures, followed subsequently by other Western trends. A new element that appeared in the program of westernization in architecture that was applied to palaces, shoreside residences of the sultan, kiosks, pavilions and yalı's was kalemişi wall paintings. The subjects of this decorative artwork, most of which was created by foreign architects, were landscapes and urban panoramas rather than geometric or floral decorations. The city panoramas mostly depicted Istanbul, the capital of both Anatolia and the Balkans. The aim of this article is to introduce examples of structures of Ottoman residential architecture that began, as from the second half of the 18th century, to boast of kalemişi wall paintings and to demonstrate how those depicting urban panoramas were primarily devoted to Istanbul and embodied a reflection of the influence these paintings had on the westernization movement.
This article portrays the initial century of Westernization in Ottoman culture by studying the architectural developments of the eighteenth century.

Revivalist attitudes in architecture began to be outdated in Turkey from the end of the 1940s, and modern approaches were becoming the ongoing architectural trend during the 1950s. In a period, when the country was open to political, economic and cultural reforms from the impetus gained by the developments of being part of the West since the end of the Second World War, Turkish architects were strongly influenced by the International Style, and they simultaneously gave iconic examples of Turkish modernism of the 1950s. In this context, this study aims to discuss the reasons for the widening impact of the International Style then in Turkey, and Turkish architects’ sources of inspiration. Having analyzed the current literature, this paper examines the mediation, which an international magazine (i.e. L’Architecture d’Aujord’hui) establishes in the dissemination of modern language in architecture, through one of the early works of Turkish architect Nejat Ersin (1924-2010).

1 ABSTRACT This study aims to define the changes in architectural scenery and cityscape in Ottoman cultural life in early modern era, i.e. 18 century. It is aimed to complement intercultural relations in this age through surveying the foreign impacts on Ottoman architecture. Istanbul, as the capital city, the cultural center of the Ottoman Empire, located between the two worlds: the East and the West, considered as an ideal example for this study. The 18 century for Turkish architecture was a “receptive” age which combined with the wish for innovative experience in all manners, and can be identified as the century of “change”. The exchange of artistic and technical models between the Ottoman cultural era and the rest of the world increased rapidly and extensively at the beginning of the century. In the first decades of the century new period of renewal, called as the “Tulip Period”, appears. Beginning with this period traditional, introverted manner of the society began to change; t...
