Portraits from the Chamber of Architects' History: Çelen-Güven Birkan

Every life is a set of experiments, a doctrine, illuminating and nourishing the future. The life story of the Birkan family is a story of embracing the values acquired through architectural education - scientific work, ethical conduct in the professional environment, integration with our people who provided us with education, sensitivity to the environment we live in and interact with, collaboration, solidarity, and sharing. They lived this intensity with dedication, patience, and humility. They left a mark and set an example with their thoughts, actions, writings, and diligence. (Yavuz Önen)
