As part of the “Formation of Modern Türkiye” course, one of the Non-Departmental Elective Courses from the Department of Common Courses, instructed by the Deputy Head of the Department, Lecturer Ceren Çilek, our students visited the exhibition titled “The Construction of a New City: Ankara 1923-1933” at Müzegazhane on Sunday, October 12.

Focusing on the foundation and transformation of Ankara as the capital of the Republic of Türkiye, which is a central theme in the course, the trip was joined particularly by students from the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design. Under the guidance of Lecturer Ceren Çilek, students had the opportunity to examine historical documents, archival materials, and photographs.

The event provided valuable insight into the early years of Republic and the formation of the new capital, deepening students’ understanding of the era.
