    Aspects of transfer of Gothic masonry vaulting technology to Greece in the case of Saint Sophia in Andravida

    No full text
    The Frankish Cathedral of Saint Sophia in Andravida, in Elis, Greece was an emblematic construction of the crusaders Princes of Achaia that used cross vaults in a manner not attempted before in a territory dominated by Byzantine architecture. Analysis of the construction and structural behaviour shows careful application of rather archaic vaulting techniques and patterns. A key question is how such schemes and technology were transferred into a politically and culturally foreign, almost hostile environment. Comparison with contemporary developments in Byzantine architecture shows research into the spatial role and structural efficiency of vaults and domes but not similar to the gradual disintegration of the envelope in Gothic architecture. It is therefore important to identify the role of patrons and masons in the design of the church. Study of the construction and structural performance using Finite Element analysis showed a well executed conservative design with limited direct input from local practices

    The Architectural Changes of Hagia Sophia During Different Era’s: The conversion of Hagia Sophia, from church to mosque during the Byzantine and Ottoman Empire

    The 1,500-year-old Hagia Sophia has undergone a long historical process of changes during three important periods. During the Roman Empire, Hagia Sophia was a Catholic church. During the Byzantine Empire, it was an Orthodox cathedral and under the Ottoman Empire Hagia Sophia was a mosque. (Mark & Cakmak, 1992) The structure has undergone multiple changes partly due to disasters such as fire and earthquakes. (Coruhlu et al., 2020) Also the conversion from church to mosque has led to multiple changes in the architectural structure and appearance of the building.This thesis examines the architectural implications of the religious conversion of the house of worship. To investigate this, first a study will be done on the ar- chitecture of the church during the Byzantine Empire, then a study will be done on architecture of the mosque during the Ottoman Empire. From these results a comparison will be made which will highlight the architectural and aesthetic changes which Hagia Sophia has undergone as a result of the conversion and what effect the conversion has had on the appearance of the building.Keywords - Hagia Sophia, architectural changes, religion, house of worship, church, mosque, Byzantine Empire, Ottoman EmpireAR2A011Architectural History ThesisArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science

    No full text
    This text presents the inaugural lecture of the academic year 2012/2013 at the Sophia University Institute (delivered on 18 October 2012). The author seeks a possible description of the concept of “constitutive peace”. It emerges as an operative concept, as a description of possibility always subject to failure, as the construction of a context which permits the ongoing activity of international politics amidst the daily struggles of building and conserving relations
