Turgut Güler, who previously, guided by Yahya Kemal, took us through the peaks of our national history among the \"tugs whose horizon encompassed the world\" of Yavuz Sultan Selim, this time, together with Yahya Kemal, and guided by the manuscripts dedicated to Sinan by Sâ'î Mustafa Çelebi and Rif'at Osman Bey, lifts the \"dusty curtains of time,\" letting our hearts soar to the \"magnificent mornings\" when we conquered stone under the command of \"Ser-Mîmârân-ı Hâssa Koca Sinan,\" that \"architect of the temple of victory.\" Thus, he demonstrates his endeavor, following the principle that \"it is also a skill to appreciate the value of an artist.\" \"I, Sinan, the carpenter from Ağırnas, realized that the best preparation for entering the Hereafter is to be a good gardener in the garden of the World. (...) I lived quite long, and this era ground my aching tooth and my spinning head well in its own millstone, making me a weak old man. (...) I did my work well and solidly. I wish for them to stand until the Day of Judgment. I have one request from my friends and brothers who love me and appreciate my works. Please do not forget this poor man and pray to Almighty God for an easy reckoning.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ötüken Neşriyat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408947003587,"sku":"9786051556987","price":75.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9786051556987.jpg?v=1616017150"},{"product_id":"sehrin-ahsap-zamani_349292-html","title":"The City's Wooden Era","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eThe abandonment of wood as a construction material occurred very recently in the history of cities. During this period, which is about half a human lifespan, our cities transformed their wooden faces and gained a concrete silhouette. Homes, streets, and neighborhoods imbued with the warmth of wood could not withstand the rigid invasion of concrete. Along with wooden construction techniques, traditional home life and classical urban culture were also plunged into sudden extinction. Our cities did not change rapidly in the last half-century; they rapidly vanished and were rebuilt... With the withdrawal of wood, along with its old friend stone, from the architectural scene, the general appearance of our cities and the phenomenon of urban life also changed from top to bottom... However, we cannot escape by blaming concrete. It would be more accurate to look at our concretized mindset and aesthetic world... This book does not claim that \"everything old was good, true, and beautiful, and the new city is bad, wrong, and ugly in every way.\" Nor was it written with the intention of turning away from change or listing its evils. It was penned by Kadir Üredi, one of the last witnesses of the city's \"Wooden Era,\" with a completely forward-looking intention... The city's wooden era is a past era. It will not be experienced again. The book only aims to transfer the unique knowledge of wood in a city and the story of the construction of wooden houses in that city to the future. If one day, a person, tired of everything, builds himself a small wooden cabin with the inspiration and knowledge gained from this book, then the purpose will have been achieved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ötüken Neşriyat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409052221635,"sku":"9789754377347","price":126.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789754377347.jpg?v=1616018428"},{"product_id":"zaman-icinde-mimari-binalarin-yasam-ve-yaslanmasi-uzerine","title":"On the Life and Aging of Architectural Buildings Over Time","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"kitap-detay-tanitim\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMohsen Mostafavi and David Leatherbarrow approach architecture from a different perspective, raising the question, \"Is a building complete when it comes into use, or is what we perceive as the end actually the beginning of the end?\" A building may appear pleasant and beautiful until it reaches maturity, but when this activity goes beyond completion, i.e., when it continues towards aging, it can become tragic. I would like to thank Dr. Yusuf Civelek for translating this book, which draws our attention to a very different dimension of architecture than what we have seen so far, bringing to the forefront a topic that many architects have only touched upon. I hope that this book encourages architects, caught up in daily trivial disputes, to pause and reflect, to take a fresh breath, and to take the time to reconsider the responsibility their profession places upon them. - Dr. M.
