Brief information about the seminar and the trip:

The common values of Ottoman architecture and music can be easily observed in the Süleymaniye Complex, built in the 16th century, which is considered the classical period of this civilization. This building, which Koca Sinan humbly presented as “my journeyman’s work”, is in fact the most magnificent and harmonious structure ever built in Istanbul. In this harmony, it is possible to find the music of his time, the music of the planets mentioned by Pythagoras, and even the harmony of western music. As a matter of fact, this point is expressed by Saî Mustafa Çelebi in the following words from the mouth of Koca Sinan;

“Praise be to the founder of the seven layers of heaven, and infinite praise be to God who covered the nine layers of heaven with a crystal dome, that in this work of water and earth, without rules or compasses, He shaped and adorned the palace of mankind, who has no soul or heart, and filled the mosques of the heart with good morals.”

From this we understand that words and the concepts they express are at the heart of the understanding of creation and art.
