Doğan Tekeli - Sami Sisa

"...They have always represented a serious architecture that solved technical and practical problems, did not go to extremes, and perhaps for this reason did not take excessive risks. For them, architecture cannot be merely a choice based on pleasure, or as they put it, a 'flippant' practice; it is a responsibility towards the environment and society. Such a serene attitude, perhaps because it is now rarely encountered, holds a valuable position in today's Turkish architectural activity. - Esra Akcan, Haluk Zelef -
