Biography
Toramanian was born in 1864, in the town of Şebinkarahisar, Ottoman Empire. He studied architecture in Constantinople and later in Paris, and then he worked on the detailed study of the remains of medieval Armenian architectural monuments.
Toramanian's scientific work paved the way for the great scholar, Josef Strzygowski, who, after a long and detailed study of Christian architecture reached the conclusion that Armenian architecture had a significant role in the development of Byzantine and later of West European architecture.[2] In 1920, during the Turkish–Armenian War, Toramanian lost a great part of his scientific study.[3] He died in 1934 in Yerevan and was buried on the bank of Hrazdan river.
