Description
Istanbul's Ãemberlitas Hamami provides a case study for the cultural, social and economic functions of Turkish bathhouses over time. Applies a biographical approach that presents a new paradigm for the discussion of architectural monuments, not only in an Ottoman context, but across time and space. Reconstructs the story of the hamam using architectural surveys, archival documents, media analysis and participant observation.
