The Yenidze Oriental Tobacco and Cigarette Factory : an example of Islamic Ornamental architecture in Germany
This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. ; Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, September, 2020 ; Cataloged from the official PDF of thesis. ; Includes bibliographical references (149 pages). Includes bibliographical references (pages 142-149). ; Stylistic elements of "Oriental" architecture became a popularized design feature for industrial buildings in Europe during the 19th century--especially within the context of Germany. As an Islamic ornamentation program unfolds, the production and dissemination of pattern books and building manuals brought forth by French and British amateur architects and designers become important factors in establishing and inventing this stylistic trend. This thesis investigates Islamic ornamentation and its occurrence and utilization on Prussian, Bavarian, and Saxonian industrial architectural examples. The Yenidze Oriental Tobacco and Cigarette Factory (1909) serves as a model in emphasizing the implementation and extrapolation of these 19th century pattern books and building manuals. In shedding light on the ways in which the tobacco factory serves as a continuer of a self-referential legacy, this architectural example will ultimately illuminate the stylistic trend's own discursivity. Interpreting the continuation of this design trajectory, the tobacco factory's architecture will further be contextualized within its own geo-agricultural and geo-political associations as regards to broader historical, mercantile, and imperial precedents. ; by Ayesha Usman Shaikh. ; S.M. ; S.M.
