Architects Stand Tall! (12th Edition)

The 12th edition of Doğan Hasol's book, "Architects Stand Tall! Extraordinary Stories," which takes readers on an enjoyable, sometimes thought-provoking journey through the unknown intricacies of the architectural world, has been published by YEM Yayın.

 Doğan Hasol takes readers on an enjoyable journey into the world of many local and foreign famous architects, as well as figures from the art and politics world, from his student days to the present, filled with their eccentricities, sorrows, resentments, joys, entertaining personalities, and interesting incidents. Hasol filters some interesting events, which he either witnessed firsthand or heard directly, through his memory and conveys them to his readers in a clear and fluent language.

"Architecture, the profession and art of creating livable environments that make people happy, is a very enjoyable yet difficult and serious job.

 This book attempts to delve into the inner world of architects as much as their professional world. In the book, you will find their eccentricities, strange events, the humanistic sides of architects, and various sparks of wit. What is written here is not based on previously kept notes. I have tried to convey some amusing/thought-provoking interesting events that I either witnessed firsthand or heard, filtering them through my memory. The events and people are real; there is no fabrication or fiction on my part. I believe that the book will shed light on a certain period of our architectural world from a different perspective.”

 "Architects Stand Tall! Extraordinary Stories," enriched visually with architect portraits and caricatures by the esteemed architect-cartoonist Güngör Kabakçıoğlu, will attract the interest not only of architects but also of anyone who feels an affinity for architecture or wishes to glance at a certain period through the eyes of architects, with its content and narrative.
