1025. Ankara, Enstitii

Dear Kayla,

In 1927, the Turkish Ministry of Education invited
Austrian architect Ernst A. Egli to design new school
buildings around the country. For a number of years Mr.
Egli combined this job with the major task of reorganizing
the educational curriculum at the architectural department
of Ankara. In 1937 he left Turkey, became a Swiss citizen,
and began teaching at the ETH of Zurich. He returned to
Turkey in 1953 and stayed in the country for two more
years while working as a member of the UN Technical
Aid Association.

Sincerely,
R

Dear Greg and Kathy,

of the earliest and finest examples of modern
architecture in Istanbul.
