The Turkish home is a living tradition whose refinement has continued uninterrupted for over 10, 000 years from the earliest recorded dwellings of Middle Anatolia to the modern Istanbul townhouse. During this time, the rise & fall of great empires
- Hittite, Byzantine, Ottoman
- has brought a mosaic of influences from as far afield as Africa & the Balkans. Certain felicitous principles have come to dominate Turkish domestic design: simplicity, economy & a respect for human needs. Living in Turkey draws aside the veil of privacy to lead us into these discreet, carefully hidden interiors. We see houses that have evolved to suit local conditions & needs, from the earthen buildings of Cappadocia & Kayseri & the whitewashed walls of the Aegean coast to the stone masonry of the Middle & Eastern Anatolia. At the heart of the Turkish experience is Istanbul: a twentieth-century metropolis still filled with beauty & mystery, tinged with the colours of ancient cultures & past times. Old wooden buildings dream in huge gardens along the Bosphorus; the angles of contemporary apartments are softened with accessories & kilims; in every house are Turkish coffee-pots, handmade embroideries & coloured glass. Throughout, spectacular colour photography invites us to share in the enjoyment of these decorative marvels, bringing us closer than ever before to the design, the architecture & the lifestyle of this entrancing culture.
