New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 172 p. New building typologies of the Prussian and Ottoman Empires. Mass housing and shopping. Bilateral relations between the Prussian Empire and the Ottoman Empire reached their peak during the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II in the 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution was taking place. This was a period of great change in living conditions and social culture as well. Necessities for housing changed as well, and the "birth" of a new housing type; the apartment blocks with shops and passages beneath - took place, especially in European capitals. This research focuses on this point of history, and aims to illuminate the relations between the Ottoman Empire and Prussian Empire in an architectural context; and also to show the shaping of urban life in 19th century Istanbul. The main focus of this work, however, is the relation between socio-cultural issues and architecture in the Prussian and Ottoman Empires, from the perspective of urban planning and apartment building construction in two capitals, Berlin and Istanbul, in the same period of time in the 19th century. When public issues meet daily social housing problems, the 19th century apartment blocks with passages beneath emerge as a new type of building, based on examples from Istanbul and Berlin alike.
Venezia, appo Zancon, 1794, rarissimo biglietto da visita veneziano inciso in rame in inchiostro marrone su carta vergata coeva, con la carta geografica della Prussia, mm. 64x92 (il biglietto). Nella parte inferiore la carta reca uno spazio bianco dove apporre il proprio nome. Questa serie di carte da visita geografiche, cominciata dallo Zancon, fu raccolta successivamente dallo Zatta in un piccolissimo atlante: "Atlante tascabile per le dame", formato probabilmente da 70 carte (cfr. l'esemplare conservato alla biblioteca dell'Università di Yale, in tre volumi, 70 mappe). Esemplare in eccellenti condizioni di conservazione (essendo un biglietto da visita è stato rifilato all'interno dell'impronta della lastra). Rarissimo.
