Me trying to have a conversation with one of the resident #cats at #topkapi Place in #istanbul during my visit last December. Here is in the chapel mosque of the Imperial Harem. #istanbulstudytrip #casedeepoca #cat
Another #wallachian style beauty of a #doorway . This one is from #mantuleasa #church in #bucharest , built in 1734 during the #tulipperiod in #ottomanarchitecture . The Wallachian architecture, incorrectly termed as #brancovenesc by the pathetic and unprofessional Romanian art historians, is an unique local #christian interprtation of the #islamicart developed in the #ottomanempire in the late 17th c and throughout the 18th c. #ottomanart #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #architecturehistory #architecturephotography #architecture
#cat encounter today in central #bucharest during my architectural history fieldwork. #southeasteurope #casedeepoca
The wooden #artdeco doors are quite rare, the majority of them being made from metal and glass, in tone with the ethos of the style as an expression of the machine era after the Great War. This example is in #bucharest , Piata Romana area, and it is still retaining its original #crystalglass panes. #1930s #southeasteurope #balkans #architecturephotography #architecturehistory #casedeepoca
Looking from inside out though a #wallachian style #doorway , for you to have an idea how dark and mysterious was its candle lit interior in the middle and early modern ages. It makes you better realise what it meant to be a Christian under the centuries old Muslim dominion of the #ottoman #caliphate . Lady’s #curch , 1680s built, #bucharest . #ottomanarchitecture #ottomanempire #architecturehistory #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #architecturephotography #balkans
What do you think about this #wallachian style #doorway beauty, from the late 1680s, at Lady’s #church in #bucharest, not long after the Second Vienna Siege, when the #architecturalstyle of #wallachia is firmly contoured, within the artistic currents of the #ottoman #art and #architecture of that period. #ottomanempire #ottomanarchitecture #casedeepoca #architecturephotography #architecturehistory #balkans #southeasteurope
#wallachian srtyle #church dedicatory #inscription from above the typical #ottoman keeled doorway lintel. It is in the #cyrillic script and easy peasy to read in Romanian if you know the letters. The Church with Saints, #mantuleasa quarter, #bucharest , mid-18th c. #southeasteurope #architecturehistory #architecturephotography #casedeepoca #ottomanempire #ottomanarchitecture
The #cupola of the #patriarchalsee #cathedral in #bucharest , parts of the 17c #architecture showing the green-shots of the #wallachian style, which will come to dominate the 18th c #ecclesiasticalarchitecture of southern #romania . #casedeepoca #balkans #southeasteurope #ottomanempire #architecturehistory
There is #blackice all over #bucharest today. I am quite worried of my #trees in the garden laden with #ice. I have already witnessed falling trees and branches right in front of me on the road. #winter #urbanenvironment #southeasteurope #weather
