  • "Le récit de la construction d'une mosquée : une histoire s'appuyant sur un complexe architectural et des personnages fictifs. Les bâtiments, en revanche, s'inspirent directement d'exemples réels construits entre 1540 et 1580 à Istanbul et dans ses environs par Sinan, le plus célèbre architecte de l'Empire ottoman."

  • "Ich beobachte den Bau der grosse Moscheeanlage: Anno 1595, zur Blütezeit des Osmanischen Reichs, stiftet in Istanbul ein reicher Admiral eine Moscheeanlage. Dazu sollen auch Koranschule, Bad, Armenküche und ein Grab gehören. Schritt für Schritt lässt sich nachvollziehen, wie der Baumeister nach dem Vorbild des berühmten Sinan vorgeht. Viele handwerkliche Arbeiten werden gezeigt und erklärt. Isometrien, Schnitte und perspektivische Zeichnungen geben Einblick in die architektonischen Grundformen und die konstruktiven Dimensionen des riesigen Baus. Und natürlich lassen sich viele Aspekte über die Praxis des Islams und über die orientalische Gesellschaft und ihre Lebensformen herauslesen. Das Buch ist ein interessanter Beitrag zur interkulturellen Diskussion und zur Architekturgeschichte. Ein Glossar erläutert die vielen Begriffe aus dem Arabischen. Ab 10 Jahren, ausgezeichnet, Ruedi W. Schweizer."
