In 2017 VEKAM decided to start a new project titled The Architects Who Left Their Mark in Ankara under the leadership of Prof. Nuray Bayraktar, Prof. Elvan Altan and Dr. Umut Şumnu. The Project intended to reveal architectural adventures of important architects who are less known, have not been particularly studied, and about whom any publications have not been made or publications have been made only to a limited extent, but who deserve to be attached special importance for the public buildings and residential structures designed thereby in Ankara.  Within the scope of the project 12 panels on important architects in Ankara were held between 2017-2019.

VEKAM is delighted to announce that the firs two volumes of  project’s panel series are now available as- e books in Turkish.
