Sinan Diaryz A Walking Tour of Mimar Sinan's Monuments

Pierpont’s book takes the reader on a tour of forty of Sinan’s most significant works, including mosques, imperial tombs, hamams, and caravansarays. More than just a guidebook, Sinan Diaryz is the outcome of Pierpont’s quest to learn more about the architect, his design sensibility and the milieu in which he lived. To make the details of his working life and its challenges more immediate, Pierpont takes on the point of view of the Master himself, writing her guide in the form of Sinan’s diary, to which she intersplices detailed descriptions of his architectural innovations and choices
