Flag of İstanbul University - Image by Tomislav Šipek, 16 May 2018
İstanbul University (İstanbul Üniversitesi; website) is made of 20 Faculties, 3 Schools and 6 Vocational Higher Schools. Some 90,000
students are taught by 5,300 staff members. The university manages 12
campuses, the main of them being BeyazÄıt-Central campus, whose
monumental gate, built in 1864-1869, is the symbol of the university.
İstanbul University is considered to have been first established in
1453 by Sultan Mehmed II in Zeyrek and Hagia Sophia madrasahs. Among
the first professors was the mathematician and astronomer Ali Qushji
(1403-1474), the head of Samarkand observatory. In 1470, the two
madrasahs were incorporated into the Fatih complex, which included a
mosque, eight madrasahs, a library, an hospital and a guest-house.
Mulla Khusraw (d. 1480) was the first head of the complex. In 1557,
Suleyman the Magnificent commissioned the architect Mimar Sinan to
build the Suleyman complex, a peak in the Ottoman architecture and
education.
In the 19th century, the madrasahs, deemed obsolete, were replaced by
institutes of higher education called darülfünun, which were the core of the modern İstanbul University. Recognized a State school on 21 April 1924, the university was reorganized on 1 August 1933.
In the 1930s, the İstanbul University hired several German and
Austrian scientists expelled from the Third Reich by anti-Jewish laws
or for political reasons, such as the astronom Erwin Finlay-Freundlich
(1885-1964), the botanist Alfred Heilbronn (1885-1961), the
philologist Leo Spitzer (1887-1960), the mathematician Richard von
Mises (1883-1953), the odontologist Alfred Kantorowicz (1880-1962),
and the physician Friedrich Dessauer (1881-1963).

Flag of MSGSÜ, horizontal and vertical versions - Images by Tomislav Šipek, 16 May 2018
MSGSÜ was founded on January 1, 1882 as the School of
Fine Arts (Mekteb-i Sanayi-i Nefise-i Şâhâne / Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi)
by the renowned Turkish painter Osman Hamdi Bey (1842-1910), who was
also an art historian, archeologist and museum curator. The institution,
being the first of its kind in Turkey, took up education in fine arts
and architecture on March 2, 1883 with 8 instructors and 20 students.
The school was converted in 1928 to an academy, the first academy in
Turkey, and its name was changed to Academy of Fine Arts (Güzel Sanatlar
Akademisi). In 1969, it was renamed to İstanbul State Academy of Fine
Arts (İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi). On July 20, 1982, its
status was changed, and the academy became a university named Mimar
Sinan University (Mimar Sinan Üniversitesi) after the great Ottoman
architect Sinan (1490-1588). Finally, in December 2003, the
administration of the university changed its name to Mimar Sinan
University of Fine Arts.
MSGSU is composed of 3 Faculties (Natural Sciences and Literature; Fine
Arts; Architecture), 1 Conservatory and 1 Vocational School.
[Archinect]
Sinan (biography) is considered the greatest Ottoman architect of the Ottoman
Empire's architectural heritage. Sultan Suleyman (1520-1566) appointed
him in 1537 head of the office of royal architects.
It is believed that Sinan's total works encompass over 360 structures
which include 84 major mosques, 51 small mosques (mescit), 57 religious
schools (medreses), 7 seminaries, 22 mausoleums (turbe) 17 care
facility, 3 asylums, 7 aqueducts, 46 inns, 35 palaces and mansions and
42 public baths. His masterpieces are the Sehzade mosque, the
Suleymaniye complex, and the Sokollu Mehmet Pasha mosque complex
(İstanbul), and the Selimiye complex (Edirne).
Osman Hamdi was born in 1842 in İstanbul and his father was one of the
top officials at the time, Grand Vizier Ethem Paşa. He played a
significant role in the modernization and transformation process of the
Ottoman Empire in the 19th century and is known as a pioneer of painting
in Turkey.
Osman Hamdi was also very famous in the field of museum management in
Europe. As a painter he produced many works depicting places in Ottoman
society. They almost serve as historical documents. A top official in
Europe, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, bought one of his
paintings,” said Professor Fatma Ürekli, the head of Mimar Sinan Fine
Arts University’s History Department.
The demands of Osman Hamdi, who was the director of Imperial Museum and
the School of Fine Arts in the era of Sultan Abdulhamid II, were not
rejected as much as possible because he was determined, hardworking,
honest and decisive. He did not get involved in political affairs other
than his own missions,” Ürekli added.
The School of Fine Arts, of which he was the director, led arts
education in the Ottoman Empire for many years.
The test documents of people who will serve as teachers in different
parts of the country were sent to the school. A commission led by Osman
Hamdi evaluated the documents. He could be very harsh in his evaluations
but he was in love with his mission,” Ürekli noted.
[Hürriyet Daily News, 2 March 2018]
The emblem of MSGSÜ, featuring an owl, was designed in 1978 by Abdullah Taşçı (b. 1945; biography). Graduated in 1972 at MSGSÜ Graphic Design), Taşçı taught at MSGSÜ (1982-1999), Maltepe University (200-2007) and Doğuş University (2007-). Taşçı designed several logos, posters and typefaces (for instance, the Tascinorm family).
