Description
"The City's Pleasures is the first historical investigation of the tremendous changes that affected the fabric and architecture of Istanbul in the century that followed the decisive return of the Ottoman court to the capital in 1703." "Examining novel forms, spaces, and decorative vocabularies; changing patterns of patronage; and new patterns of architectural perception, The City's Pleasures shows how these exposed and reinforced the internal dynamics that were played out between a society in flux and a state anxious to recreate an idea system of social hierarchies."--Jacket.
