Flag of MSGSÜ, horizontal and vertical versions - Images by Tomislav Šipek, 16 May 2018
MSGSÜ was founded on January 1, 1882 as the School of
Fine Arts (Mekteb-i Sanayi-i Nefise-i Şâhâne / Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi)
by the renowned Turkish painter Osman Hamdi Bey (1842-1910), who was
also an art historian, archeologist and museum curator. The institution,
being the first of its kind in Turkey, took up education in fine arts
and architecture on March 2, 1883 with 8 instructors and 20 students.
The school was converted in 1928 to an academy, the first academy in
Turkey, and its name was changed to Academy of Fine Arts (Güzel Sanatlar
Akademisi). In 1969, it was renamed to İstanbul State Academy of Fine
Arts (İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi). On July 20, 1982, its
status was changed, and the academy became a university named Mimar
Sinan University (Mimar Sinan Üniversitesi) after the great Ottoman
architect Sinan (1490-1588). Finally, in December 2003, the
administration of the university changed its name to Mimar Sinan
University of Fine Arts.
MSGSU is composed of 3 Faculties (Natural Sciences and Literature; Fine
Arts; Architecture), 1 Conservatory and 1 Vocational School.
[Archinect]
Sinan (biography) is considered the greatest Ottoman architect of the Ottoman
Empire's architectural heritage. Sultan Suleyman (1520-1566) appointed
him in 1537 head of the office of royal architects.
It is believed that Sinan's total works encompass over 360 structures
which include 84 major mosques, 51 small mosques (mescit), 57 religious
schools (medreses), 7 seminaries, 22 mausoleums (turbe) 17 care
facility, 3 asylums, 7 aqueducts, 46 inns, 35 palaces and mansions and
42 public baths. His masterpieces are the Sehzade mosque, the
Suleymaniye complex, and the Sokollu Mehmet Pasha mosque complex
(İstanbul), and the Selimiye complex (Edirne).
Osman Hamdi was born in 1842 in İstanbul and his father was one of the
top officials at the time, Grand Vizier Ethem Paşa. He played a
significant role in the modernization and transformation process of the
Ottoman Empire in the 19th century and is known as a pioneer of painting
in Turkey.
Osman Hamdi was also very famous in the field of museum management in
Europe. As a painter he produced many works depicting places in Ottoman
society. They almost serve as historical documents. A top official in
Europe, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, bought one of his
paintings,” said Professor Fatma Ürekli, the head of Mimar Sinan Fine
Arts University’s History Department.
The demands of Osman Hamdi, who was the director of Imperial Museum and
the School of Fine Arts in the era of Sultan Abdulhamid II, were not
rejected as much as possible because he was determined, hardworking,
honest and decisive. He did not get involved in political affairs other
than his own missions,” Ürekli added.
The School of Fine Arts, of which he was the director, led arts
education in the Ottoman Empire for many years.
The test documents of people who will serve as teachers in different
parts of the country were sent to the school. A commission led by Osman
Hamdi evaluated the documents. He could be very harsh in his evaluations
but he was in love with his mission,” Ürekli noted.
[Hürriyet Daily News, 2 March 2018]
The emblem of MSGSÜ, featuring an owl, was designed in 1978 by Abdullah Taşçı (b. 1945; biography). Graduated in 1972 at MSGSÜ Graphic Design), Taşçı taught at MSGSÜ (1982-1999), Maltepe University (200-2007) and Doğuş University (2007-). Taşçı designed several logos, posters and typefaces (for instance, the Tascinorm family).

SBÜ is the only state university to be allowed to operate branches in foreign countries: Somalia, Sudan (3), Philippines, and Uzbekistan (2).
The flag of SBÜ (photo, photo, photo, photo, photo, photo, photo) is white with the university's emblem.
The emblem of SBÜ features the facade of its main campus, originally erected for Sultan Abdul Hamid (1876-1909) as the Mekteb-i Tıbbiyye-i Şahane (Imperial School of Medicine). Designed by the noted architects Alexandre Vallaury (1850-1921) and Raimondo D'Aronco (1857-1932), the complex was built from 1894 to 1902, being inaugurated on 6 November 1903, the Sultan's birthday. The complex was used as a military medical school until 1909, then as a civil military school. The complex was transformed into the Haydarpaşa High School in 1933, to be allocated on 1983 to Marmara University, which used it as the School of Health Sciences and Faculty of Medicine.
