Πελαγία Αστρεινίδου-Κωτσάκη

Abstract

Subjects discussed in this study include the institution of the “imperial
architect”, his intervention in the organisation or otherwise of cities during the
period of Ottoman rule, the organisation of large worksites and major construction
works, and the “urban architect”, a term which appeared at the time
of the great demographic changes.
The design of architectural works, the transporting and storing of materials,
the locating and transporting of skilled workmen, and the practice of
“mass deportation and resettlement” are all points for discussion. Finally, the
differential role of the “urban architect”, as described in published sources, as
inspector and controller of building in the cities by the craftsmens’ guilds
provides information that the writer believes will assist a better understanding
of the period.
