The Architectural Grid of Ibrahim Han Mosque in Réthymnon, Crete

The Ibrahim Han Mosque, dating from the very early years of Ottoman Crete in the mid-seventeenth century, is presented as a case study for detecting the historical ell values used in the island. The use of architectural grid and the employment of the 721 mm value of the Ottoman ell is attested, along with simple methods for achieving proportions and organizing the building layout. Using a methodology that approaches the local architecture of the island through metrology, the research sheds light to the involvement of Ottoman imperial architects, whose designs were executed within the architectural tradition of Crete.
