Sinan (sēnän), Muslim architect, 1489?–1578?. He is regarded as the greatest of Islamic builders, his achievement lying in his solutions to spatial problems in cupola-topped structures. He was active during the reigns of Selim I, Sulayman I, and Selim II, and in 1539 he was named court architect. His masterpieces are the mosques of Şehzâde and Sulayman I, both at Constantinople (now İstanbul), and the mosque of Selim II at Adrianople. His autobiography lists more than 300 buildings of his design.

See Sinan Antoon, "Monumental Disrespect," in Middle East Report 228, Fall 2003, for an account detailing the condition of the Martyr's Monument in Baghdad in July 2003. By Mahmoud Darwish, Translated and edited by Munir Akash and Carolyn Forche with Sinan Antoon and Amira El-Zein, 2003, 191 pp. Ibn Sinan (909-946) does not preoccupy himself with the entire field of mathematics, but only with geometry, although the unification he did is brought to bear on the gamut of the analysis and synthesis procedures, and the reasonings deployed, independently of the realm of geometry in which they apply. |
