Turkish Style Hardcover Book by Stefanos Yerasimos

About the Item

Turkish Style Hardcover November 1, 1992 by Stephane Yerasimos (Author), Kaya Dincer. The Turkish home is a living tradition whose refinement has continued uninterrupted for over 10,000 years, from the earliest recorded dwellings of Middle Anatolia to the modern Istanbul townhouse. During this time, the rise and fall of great empires - Hittite, Byzantine, Ottoman -- has brought a mosaic of influences from as far afield as Africa and the Balkans. Certain felicitous principles have come to dominate Turkish domestic design: simplicity, economy, and a respect for human needs. Turkish Style draws aside the veil of privacy to lead us into these discreet, carefully hidden interiors. We see houses that have evolved to suit local conditions and needs, from the earthen buildings of Cappadocia and Kayseri and the whitewashed walls of the Aegean coast to the stone masonry of Middle and Eastern Anatolia. At the heart of the Turkish experience is Istanbul: a twentieth-century metropolis still filled with beauty and mystery, tinged with the colors of ancient cultures and past times. Old wooden buildings dream in huge gardens along the Bosphorus, the angles of contemporary apartments are softened with accessories and kilims; in every house are Turkish coffee pots, handmade embroideries, and colored glass. Throughout, spectacular color photography invites us to share in the enjoyment of these decorative marvels, bringing us closer than ever before to the design, the architecture, and the lifestyle of this entrancing culture. With 300 color illustrations. * Publisher ‏ : ‎ Vendome Press (November 1, 1992) * Language ‏ : ‎ English * Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 223 pages
