| Discussion | Chinli Kiosk Commentary
"The ‚inili Kiosk, or Tiled Pavilion, in the Topkapi Palace, at Istanbul, is decorated with glazed faience. Built as early as 1473, and possibly designed by a Persian architect, it exerted a powerful influence upon succeeding Ottoman architecture. Square in plan, it is preceded by an arcaded entrance portico. The interior is roofed with an elaborate arrangement of ribbed vaults and a lofty central dome." —John Julius Norwich, ed. Great Architecture of the World. p140. "The unusual Chinili Kiosk in Istanbul has a plan much influenced by Persian pavilions. The crucifom central space is surmounted by a low dome, and the chambers forming the arms of the cross terminate in tile-encrusted, colonnaded verandahs and balconies. The spaces between them complete the square, and provide self-contained suites of rooms." —Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. p611. Address On the grounds of the Topkapi Museum, Sultanhammed. | ||||
