The Ottoman rule of the Balkans continued in varying forms for about six hundred years. Many public buildings and structures were created and\/or adapted in the period. Logically, the edifices presented the characteristics of the stages of Ottoman architectural development. But different regional elements and structures were also adopted and rethought and changed \u2013 in administrative, cultural, and even religious buildings and ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Balkan History Association will prepare a volume which implies careful examination o\u0433 the processes of creating, adapting, and\/or preserving public buildings in the Balkans during Ottoman rule. Authors are invited to submit book chapters relying on the following questions: Are there, and what are the regional features of Ottoman public architecture of the Balkans? Are there patterns or differences in the choice of size, structure, building material, builders, or decorations? Are there, and if there are \u2013 what are the links between the Byzantium and the Ancient Roman, Greek or Thracian heritage and the samples of Ottoman public buildings in the Balkans? Which are the models of public buildings, common of all the locations and forms of creation? Are there samples of buildings featuring both Ottoman and regional architectural traditions? What are the specifics of stone and wood in Balkan Ottoman architecture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
