- Double-weighted statement
- This 151,101-word monograph is the outcome of seven years of research and provides a comprehensive reassessment of the careers of the Baylan dynasty of architects to the Ottoman sultans and new interpretations of the transformations in architecture and building practices in the mid-nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire. Research involved extensive use of archives in Istanbul, Paris and the UK, written in Ottoman-Turkish, often using a challenging nineteenth-century script, and Western Armenian, as well as French and English. Much of the manuscript material in Istanbul was uncatalogued and required extended visits to access and interpret.
