First and only edition of this work, which examines the typology, planning principles, ornamentation, and landscape arrangements of Ottoman gardens. It is the first comprehensive book written on the subject and stands as one of the most important sources on the history of architecture in Turkey, particularly on garden culture. The book focuses on pavilions, palace gardens, water features (pools, fountains, sadirvans), floral and plant arrangements, and the distinctions between geometric and natural planning.
