23rd, 1870 and he studied architecture in the studio of
Monsignor Coquart until 1877. After returning to Istanbul
in 1879, like many of its international students; he
became a representative of the Beaux-Arts school, which
dominated the architectural culture of the era. Façade
design, symmetry, axiality, and functional planning were
significant features of the Beaux-Arts style that Vallaury
would apply extensively in his works in Istanbul.
Vallaury combined his understanding of traditional
Ottoman architecture with these elements of Beaux-Arts
architecture in his designs of buildings made for the
members of the palace and for high officials in Istanbul.
His architectural approach exhibited a range of styles
from his version of the Islamic-Ottoman synthesis to the
established trends in the Neo-Classical architecture of
the time.
The foreign students of the Beaux-Arts in Paris after
going back to their countries more often than not
gained reputations as architects or as teachers.
Alexander Vallaury was no exception. After his return
to Istanbul in 1879, he attracted the attention of
the noted painter and archaeologist Osman Hamdi,
curator of the newly established “Empire Museum”
(Turkish: Müze-i Humayun), which is today the
Istanbul Archaeology Museum. After meeting with
Osman Hamdi, he designed the Sanayi-i Nefise
Mektebi (School of Fine Arts) and became the founding
instructor of the architecture school. Following after
the construction of this symbolically prestigious
building, Vallaury enhanced his career and designed
many buildings of economic, political and symbolic
significance. It is not an exaggeration to argue that
Vallaury was one of the most prominent architects of
the 19th century in Istanbul and his works reflects the
socio-political picture of the late 19th century in the
Ottoman Empire.
