Eski Bayındırlık ve İskan Bakanlığı Binası

Editor's Note

Its architect was Clemens Holzmeister. In the Vakit newspaper, an article headed "At the Opening of the New Public Works Building in Ankara" spoke of the structure thus: "In a new style, light-filled and spotless. A palace redolent of novelty and freshness: the Ministry of Public Works." The building consists of two four-storey blocks set perpendicular to the avenue, a horizontal block of a ground floor plus two storeys connecting them, and a central mass containing the main entrance. Besides the stepped main entrance in the projecting central block, the building can also be entered from the tall blocks. Past the central entrance, a marble staircase leads up from the marble-clad lobby to the minister's office and the ceremonial hall.
