Take for instance the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. The designs use stunning materials – from imported stone to precious metals and treated wood. If you love Ottoman design then you’ll adored the exquisite Ayssofya in Istanbul. 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. There is still a tiny prayer room in operation today, but most of the building now serves as a museum.
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. Over the years, various sultans added to the design, which is representative in today’s final quirky aesthetic. There are loads of secret passage ways – used for the various sultans’ privacy – that can be explored. Now a museum, the palace also has a labyrinth that’s lots of fun to explore.
