Summary: During the reign of the Ottoman Empire, one of the largest and lasting empires in history, many great architectural projects were developed at the request of sultans.

THis book is a rich and colorful compilation of these magnificent projects, from Antoine Bouvard's canal project, from Munif Pasha's grand Ottoman park project to D'Aronco's Turkish-Greek War victory monument project, and many other brilliant projects. It includes exclusive photographs and first hand drawings of the projects, many of which have remained on paper and hidden in archives for centuries.
