Product Description


In this book, Y. Eng. Architect Prof. Dr. Enis Kortan presents an important study on Turkish architecture from the perspective of Charles Edouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, who holds a very significant place in world architectural history.

"Societies boast about their historical and contemporary architectural works; with the architectural heritage passed down from their ancestors, which is considered an important indicator of their cultural and civilization levels. Our country has a chance that few countries in the world possess in this regard: We have outstanding architectural works and famous architects who created them! It is noteworthy that our intrinsic values are recognized and spoken of with appreciation outside our country."

Le Corbusier, who visited Turkey multiple times, particularly to examine its historical cities and structures, said:

"Everything leads me to grant the Turks a privileged position. They were gentle, courteous, and dignified; they respected the beings around them. Their architectural works are tremendous, beautiful, and magnificent. Such unity! Such timelessness! Such wisdom!"
The book, prepared in Turkish, English, and French, also discusses Le Corbusier's contributions to 20th-century art and architecture, as one of the pioneers of modern architecture, the creator of the "Modulor" measurement system, whose innovative solutions ranged from large-scale urban planning to the smallest spaces.
