Have you ever wondered how old the buildings around you are? What differences do you see between new and old buildings? In this workshop, we first view the exhibition on how popular culture has recreated elements from Byzantine architecture, art, and history over the last 70 years, and then study the shiny architectural elements of Istanbul and Hagia Sophia, one of the largest monuments in the world. Next, inspired by the structural architecture examples from the exhibition, we first draw our architectural designs and then build them in 3D using sticks. This workshop improves our fine motor skills and tactile perception while enhancing our imagination and creativity.

Byzantine medical art was grounded in the Greco-Roman medicine transmitted by Hippocrates and Galen and new concepts introduced by such physicians as Oribasios of Pergamon, Aetius of Amida, Alexander of Tralles and Paul of Aegina.
Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power.
The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
