Khan As'ad Pasha
This spectacular 1752 caravanserai covers 2500 square meters and is decorated with contrasting stripes of basalt and limestone. The central space would have been for the camels that transported goods to and from the khan; the upper floors had offices and counting houses. Many of these old khans are still in use, with motorized vehicles and donkeys in the spaces that once housed camels.

About Peter Aaron
Peter Aaron has been photographing architecture and interiors for forty-five years. After working for designers Ward Bennett and Joseph d’Urso as they developed their High Tech style, Aaron began a transformational apprenticeship with the great architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. He began working on his own after two years, adopting Stoller’s strong compositional approach while developing an individual style through the use of dramatic camera angles, theatrical lighting, and cinematic techniques. Since that time, Aaron has photographed structures by many of the most influential and groundbreaking architects of the last thirty years, including Robert A.M. Stern, Rem Koolhaas, Charles Gwathmey, Michael Graves, Peter Eisenman, Robert Venturi, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and Raphael Vinoly.
About his photographic practice, Aaron says, “my mission is to provide an image that’s a sort of ‘Platonic ideal’ of each structure, to show the building as the architect originally envisioned it. Along with considerations of color and contrast, I aim for a certain complexity of composition, often creating several views within each larger picture. These mini-frames increase the time it takes the viewer to appreciate the overall design – the essence of a successful photograph.”
