    Constantinople/Istanbul: a vortex of peoples and cultures: (324-1500)
    (Taylor and Francis, 2018) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    I t has become a well-worn—if not unjustified—cliché to refer to Istanbul as a bridge between Asia and Europe, East and West, “Orient and Occident.” After all, the enormous city, which due primarily to rural-to-urban migration now counts more than fifteen million inhabitants, straddles the nineteen-odd-mile-long Bosphorus Strait that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara (which in turn is connected to the Mediterranean by the Dardanelles Strait), each with its own climate and vegetation. The Bosphorus Bridge (built 1973) and the Mehmed the Conqueror Bridge (built 1989) enable trucks to transport goods between the two continents easily and swiftly as well as many residents to drive back and forth between the Asian and European parts daily on their way to and from work. Every year the greater municipality organizes the world’s only marathon race that takes runners from one continent to another via the Bosphorus Bridge. The city’s topographical characteristic and the resulting geopolitical 112importance have become significant identity markers for Istanbul and, by extension, for the country as a whole.

    Healing by design? an experiential approach to early modern Ottoman hospital architecture
    (Brill Academic Publishers, 2015) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Frank Lloyd Wright commented in 1948 that "Hospital patients should never be imbued with the idea that they are sick..." Ironically, in subsequent decades architects moved farther away from restorative environments and made functional efficiency their sole guiding principle. Since the 1980s, however, the medical establishment has once again shown interest in the built environment where healthcare is delivered, and in the ways architecture and gardens can support or undermine healing a turn summarized by the concept "healing by design". This essay takes as starting point the present knowledge of successful hospital architecture, as it rests on evidence-based design, and through its lens examines early modem Ottoman hospital architecture, in order to understand how these buildings shaped users' sensory experiences, how they conformed to four qualities of space essential to "healing by design" (orientation, connection, scale, and symbolic meaning), and how they promoted well-being and assisted in the therapeutic process.
