It is possible for people in both fields to draw lessons from this. But as a result of my work, with inner peace, it can be said that Nâzım Hikmet was a consistent artist in every aspect... And that he looked at architecture, as he did at all other branches of art, with integrity, sincerity, and in terms of its usefulness to humanity...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all true artists, Nâzım Hikmet always believed in the future. He always fought for enlightenment. Without ever compromising his humanity or his joy for life... He directed individual love towards society... What he said and what he did were one and the same. His art and his life completely coincided. Like Yunus, like Pir Sultan, he fought for what he believed in throughout his life, both inside and outside...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNâzım Hikmet, who was born on January 15, 1902, and passed away 53 years ago on a June 3rd, addresses architects and \"builders\" as follows:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"...To your hands, your eyes,\u003cbr\u003eTo your paper, your compasses, greetings\u003cbr\u003eGreetings to stonemasons, carpenters, fitters\u003cbr\u003eTo those who forge iron, who pour concrete,\u003cbr\u003eTo those who cut wood, to glassmakers,\u003cbr\u003eAnd to all those who have contributed,\u003cbr\u003eEven a speck of effort to this work, greetings...\"\u003cbr\u003e-Nâzım Hikmet-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHO IS CENGİZ BEKTAŞ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCengiz Bektaş, born in Denizli in 1934 and whom we lost in 2020, completed his secondary education at Istanbul Boys' High School and his higher education at the DGSA Decoration, Architecture Departments, and the Faculty of Architecture at Munich Technical University.
