Architectural Photography

October 12, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

National Parliament House, L. Kahn, 1986. Balancing the strong vertical and horizontal lines with angular entrances.

I have always enjoyed looking at architectural works and spaces they create, the ideas they convey. I remember the old street in Uskudar where I was born with its Albanian pavement covered narrow street and old, mostly wood-structure houses. Even now, I remember the outer door paint job with two color layers with hand swayed swirls; possibly to imitate better wood. The Albanian … [Read more...] about Architectural Photography

Hagia Sophia Revisited

July 14, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

Hagia Sophia Entrance, looking toward narthex, exedra on both sides

Almost ten years ago, my exhibit opened on Providence College campus showing the photographs of Hagia Sophia. I took those photographs in 2009 after a good friend arranged a visit to the restoration site and we took the elevator to the level inside its magnificent dome. I spent hours inside and around the dome, even stepping outside to walk on its roof to enjoy the … [Read more...] about Hagia Sophia Revisited

I happened … [Read more...] about Brutalist Architecture & COVID-19 Pandemic

Istanbul Architecture

November 2, 2019 by A. Cemal Ekin

Is this Dubaiesque

I am probably beating a dead horse by writing about the very strange change in Istanbul's architectural character. I wrote before about the discomfort of Istanbul and I experienced the same when we visited there in October 2019. In my previous visits and related posts, I called Istanbul with a nickname I coined for it: Towertown. This time, I am giving it an advanced degree, … [Read more...] about Istanbul Architecture

A New Bridge

August 26, 2019 by A. Cemal Ekin

The new pedestrian bridge in Providence

The Providence River provides many opportunities for the town and to its residents. There is the Water-Fire, rowing possibilities, walkways, the view it provides, and the new pedestrian bridge. It officially opened on August 9, 2019, and a couple of days ago I went to see it with Jim. (He also wrote about the bridge) The bridge looks more like a sculpture with soaring wavy … [Read more...] about A New Bridge
