Sinan learnt his father's trade at his youth but he was snatched from his family and
taken to work for the Caliph court.
With the skills learnt at an early age, he quickly developed his career of
architect from his military service at the Janissary Corps (Turkish Military).
His travels with the army through a vast geographical region extending from Anatolia to Italy, Central Europe,
Baghdad enriched his architectural knowledge.

The synthesis of this knowledge was reflected in his famous constructions as seen in his chief work the Suleymaniyye Mosque (1550-1557)
Sinan has been compared to Michelangelo of the European Renaissance

Ostrich egg
Ostrich egg
These eggs secrete chemical substances into the atmosphere, which
repel spiders and mosquitoes away
2. Air Purification System
The Oil lamps and
candle used to lighten,
generate smoke and
burn oxygen
Drive the smoke to
a filter chamber
The soot
collected will be
filtered
And used for
making ink
In turn, clean air
was driven to the
outside ensuring
sustainability
The ink protects the
books from book worm
