Summary
Chapter 5 turns to the centralization of design processes in the period around 1500, when architecture became integrated into the practices of the centralized workshops that were being established. Design intersected with collection practices that integrated the visual arts into the Ottoman epistemological project of gathering, sorting, and classifying that was fully underway.
