Of the civilisation of Turkey we typically \u2013 and of its architecture almost exclusively -know of the Osmanli, the era of which ended with the peace treaty of S\u00e9vres in 1920 after World War I. This also meant a \u201etabula rasa re-start for the whole nation\u201d. This is when the Modern Age history of Turkey began, starring Mustafa Kemal who \u2013 on the ruins of \u201ethe sick man of Europe\u201d was able to lay down the foundations of a country competitive ever since as wel as that of contemporary Turkish architecture. Regarding architecture, Mustafa Kemal\u2019s era (1923-50) is referred to as the architecture of the early-republican period which I am analysing in this study with its antecedents also covering all three periods. This span of time is also that of contradictions: of tradition and reception, European influences and their critical selection too. However, this global-local, or European-national dialogue is also educational for us.<\/p>\n
