Dodd Phillip James; Cullmann Ellie Foreword
An Ideal Collaboration: The Art of Classical Details
Australia: Images Publishing Dist Ac 2015. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. Illustrated. Publisher's cloth. Illustrated. 256pp. Full refund if not satisfied. The most definitive book on 'classical detailing' in years. Covers all the fundamentals of classical architecture. Features a foreword by Ellie Cullmann. Includes projects by Quinlan Terry perhaps the most well-known classical architect practising today.Other architects include Robert Adam and Hugh Petter Julian Bicknell Robert Franklin Digby Harris and John Simpson." Showcasing 25 residences by today's leading classical architects this wonderful new book also addresses the fundamental issue of collaboration between architect decorator landscaper and the enormous cast of characters who bring their formidable talents to the realization of every project. An Ideal Collaboration is an important addition to the literature of architecture and design." Ellie Cullman "An Ideal Collaboration shares a place in my library next to volumes on great 20th century Classicists. It is essential as a visual reference to the continued evolution of timeless style." Steven Gambrel in the follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Art of Classical Details Phillip James Dodd continues his look at some of the finest examples of contemporary classical architecture in Great Britain and the United States while also examining how collaboration is the key to their successful design.In reality collaborative relationships are rare especially amongst designers where each is often focused on their own individual objectives and unable to transcend their own egos. Often used as a catch phase but not often realized true collaboration requires an understanding and an appreciation - of the role that all parties play in the design and construction of a home.An Ideal Collaboration includes the work of some of the most notable names in contemporary residential design. Architects decorators landscape designers consultants builders craftsmen artists and vendors all address the design process and the pivotal role that collaboration plays in creating cohesive timeless designs.

Istanbul an urban history. Byzantion, Constantinopolis, Istanbul.
Fine English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (28 x 22 cm). In English. 485 p., color and b/w ills. Istanbul an urban history. Byzantion, Constantinopolis, Istanbul. First Edition. This is not a book on archaeology, nor, although it lays particular stress on the architecture, an architectural history of Istanbul. It is an attempt to present the urban history of a world-city called Istanbul, Constantinople, Byzantion in different periods of its history. It delineates historical circumstances, or sudden ruptures, but above all, it attempts to present this unique world-city as experienced by its citizens and visitors, and as imagined by the world at large. While recent researches on the topography, history and monuments of the city are integrated in the text, my intention is to present the essence of the historical image of Istanbul contextually within physical, social and cultural framework. I have no intention of breaking new ground on the topography of the city, but I wish to convey the terms of a unique human experience in one of the longest surviving cities of the world, built in a most beautiful and enchanting landscape. The great Byzantine scholar R. Janin speaks of various "visages" of the city composed through the rhythms of life or caprices of the emperors. Most of this intricate relationships created in millennia between men, site, and artifact are gone and difficult to visualize. In writing this urban history, while I try to remain objective, I know that I create a literary model using as reference the least changed of the historical elements, the surviving monuments, the site with its basic shape and articulations, and contemporary accounts -not necessarily sources of hard facts, but as primary expressions, reactions and emotions. Thus tryingto keep myself away, as far as possible, from speculation and methods of criminal fiction, I have delineated the history of this grandiose, dramatic and often cruel city of Istanbul

Ottoman's Istanbul. 112 monuments symbolising the Ottoman capital Istanbul. Translated into English by Adair Mill.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (22 x 12 cm). In English. Ills. 248 p. Istanbul is a city born from the sea. Starting a colony of Megaran Byzantium settled here 2,700 years the pagans, Christian, and Muslim societies who settled here not only built their cities according to the unique topography of the land, but also -to varying degrees- preserved the monuments of the civilizations that had preceded them. However, when people settled in the coastal areas, considering going as far as 8500 BC, the date of last finds. This urge to preserve has thus created a demonstrated continuity within the historical physiometry of the city. The urban order that had been Constantinople was continued in the Ottoman era. With the passing of hands, however, monumental mosques began to appear in the earlier Roman forums. A total of 112 of the best monumental buildings of Istanbul were selected for this book. The first selection was made based on the monuments remaining in the inner city, an area first delineated by Septimus Severus, and then expanded to include the districts added by Constantine and then, later, by Theodosius. This inner city area was also greatly expanded by the Ottomans as the districts after Beyazit were augmented to include the avenue stretching to Topkapi that acts as the borders of the lands dividing the Marmara Sea from the Golden Horn. In doing so, for the purposes of this book the iner city was thus classified by these former borders into four distinct districts. The districts of Galata, Eyu?p, and those lining the Bosphorus Strait, became the fifth sixth, and seventh districts to be covered in this work, while the city's Asian-side districts of Üsku?dar, Haydarpasa, and Kadiköy became the eighth district. The monuments of Ottoman's Istanbul that the reader will discover in this book have been thus presented according to eight separate districts, and all have been listed in alphabetic order.

The miracle of Divrigi: An essay on the art of Islamic ornamentation in Seljuk times. Translated by Nancy Öztürk and Hazem Abueseifan.
New New English Original binding with original dust wrapper. 4to. (34 x 24 cm). 230 p. Color and b/w ills. Very heavy volume. Divrigi is a miracle. It is one of those very unique and seldom-found miracles in the world's long history of art. Commissioned in the 13th century by Turan Melek, the wife of Ahmed Shah, beg of the Mengücek Principality, the mosque and hospital complex in Divrigi (a remote corner of Anatolia) has continued for seven hundred years to present us with unparalleled architectural form an a virtual symphony o ornamentation. With its lush outpouring of description and absolutely magnificent stonework, this brave work of art rears its head in opposition to all of the artistic norms of its period. Bequeathed to mankind by an unknown artisan of great skill, the complex in Divrigi stands to this day as the region's sole and unequalled example of magnificent architecture. In The Miracle of Divrigi, Dogan Kuban provides us with a detailed account an description of the Divrigi Mosque and Hospital from historical, societal, and artistic perspectives and acquaints us with an architectural masterpiece that has been previously overlooked in world art history. This unmatched example of Anatolian art is rediscovered example of Anatolian art is rediscovered with new interpretations and is further enriched with original prints-drawings based on Divrigi ornamentation forms by sculptor / painter Ali Teoman Germaner and by the photographs of Ara Güler and Murat Germen.

The Turkish hayat house.
Fine English Original cloth bdg. 4to. (34 x 24 cm). In English. 279 p., color and b/w ills. The Turkish hayat house. Türk 'Hayat'li evi. The Turkish House is both a picturesque image and a historical fact. Since the sixteenth century, descriptions of travelers and the engravings and paintings of western artists depicting Ottoman lands introduced to the world images of a different urban tradition and the existence of a different dwelling concept. Europeans regarded the physiognomy of the Ottoman capital, Istanbul, and other great cities of the Empire such as Edirne, Bursa, Izmir, Konya, Amasya and lesser towns from the Balkans to Iran and Mesopotamia with a mixed feeling of wonder and disdain. The Turkish urbanscape - the khans and caravansaries, covered bazaars, Turkish baths, the wooden houses with their lattice-screenned windows and bold overhaning projections aligned along the narrow and tortuous streets, well-lit and lavishly-decorated rooms in which dignified men in magnificent robes sat in characteristic postures on low divans, women of the harem looking over the streets from behind wooden screens - all these idiosyncratic images of a preindustrial society, idealized, romanticized and distorted by narrators and artists, excited the imagination of the western public about the nonchalant life of the Turks and the so-called Orient.

Vanished urban visions: Wooden palaces of the Ottomans. Translated by Adair Mill.
New English Original bdg. HC. Large 4to. (33 x 28 cm). In English. 120 p. Color and b/w ills. "The subject of this book is the understanding of the aesthetic message conveyed by the great wooden palaces.The great wooden Turkish dwellings that form the subject of this book have completely vanished, only their history and their memory remain,the visual memories consisting for the most part of engravings in the books and sketches in travel notes. The wooden palaces are presented in this book, not in the form of a sketch to be found in travel books, but rather as architectural drawings in a 1/100 scale, the reconstruction are interpretations, engravings and desseins of European artists.".
