Culture

A building that started in 1937 with a project competition and created with elbow grease in 24 years: the Turkish Grand National Assembly Building. The construction process of the building with reflections of the art of Austrian architect Clemens Holzmeister, who won the first prize in the competition, is represented by way of the memories of Master Architect Ziya Payzın, who was in charge of the construction work. People who contributed to the construction of this precious and patient building, which came to a halt time and time again during the years of war and destitute, when marble deposits and stone pits could not be exploited, and skilled workers and materials were scarce participate in the story with their memories about the interesting details of the building.
