Özet

The Gravier Building is an Art Nouveau building in Pera, Istanbul, which dates back to the last decade of the 19th Century. The building is one of the few remaining examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Istanbul with its stucco sculptures on the facade, its original decorative plasterwork, engravings on the ceilings, and the workmanship of the marble staircase. As a 7-storey unreinforced brick masonry building in an active seismic area, it is also a remarkable example of engineering.
