Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul; a city known by many names, the famed New Rome has bridged the east and west for over a millennium. With one half of the city in Europe, and the other half in Asia, a multitude of cultural influences can be seen within its walls–especially in its unique architecture. In this exhibit, we will explore a selection of churches, mosques, and cisterns that have borne witness to the rise and fall of empires, and how adaptive reuse has given these structures new life.
