Hagia Sophia has a rich cultural heritage because it has been used as a multi- religious, multi-political, and multi-purpose structure for hundreds of years. How does your understanding of the contextual space change after watching this week’s video? How do you see the art changing and being adopted by later cultural traditions? More importantly, what does this transformative process mean for our historical understanding and reading of the space? Please provide specific examples. (This may require additional research.)
