Focusing on schools constructed in Istanbul and Athens between 1868 and 1900, this paper offers a comparative study of the Greek (also known as Rum) educational institutions, analyzing the various strategies of self-representation at play in their architectural programs. The study compares the shared stylistic language of eclectic classicism that appear in the Zografyon Lyceum (1890) and the Zappeio School for Girls (1885) in Istanbul\u2019s Beyo\u011flu district, as well as related structures within the Ottoman lands and in the then nascent Kingdom of Greece. Shared design choices across ethno-religious communities resident in the late Ottoman Empire created an associative \u201carchitecture of instruction,\u201d which will be illustrated through a discussion of the designs of Zografyon and the Zappeio that contextualizes the use of a kind of neo-classicism in Istanbul\u2019s late Ottoman schools as both part of the era’s global patterns of taste, as well as explores the questions of identity at play in the Ottoman sphere. The paper also aims to show how this phenomenon in the built environment inscribed in the urban fabric the imperial bureaucracy’s attempt to unite its diverse population under a common identity constructed on an imagined Helleno-Ottoman past.<\/p>\n
