This is not a technical book, nor are its contents limited to any predefined category. Being “green” means being aware of the responsibility implied in the construction and use of modern buildings, and there are many ways to express this rising consciousness. Some solutions, the ones generally called “passive,” are as old as the history of architecture, while others are born of cutting-edge technologies. Both approaches and many more are included in this groundbreaking collection of 100 of the world’s most innovative and recent eco-friendly buildings.
Shafak opowiada historię wielkiego architekta imperium otomańskiego, niejakiego Mimara Sinana, który budował dla trzech sułtanów, w tym dla Sulejmana Wspaniałego. Stworzył ponad dziewięćdziesiąt meczetów, pięćdziesiąt szkół, dwadzieścia mauzoleów, wiele mostów, akweduktów i łaźni, lecz jego nazwisko nie jest nam znane. Shafak przywraca go światu zachodniemu, zaś opowieść o jego pracy jest przede wszystkim pretekstem do opowiedzenia o Stambule – mieście totalnym, stanowiącym świat sam w sobie. Głównym bohaterem jest Dżahan, uczeń wielkiego Sinana, który przez przypadek zostaje opiekunem białego słonia o imieniu Czhota, będącego podarunkiem dla sułtana od wielkiego szacha.
Prace te zostały nazwane "autonomicznymi rysunkami architektonicznymi.
