From the History of The Academy of Fine Arts
"After an interview in the Architecture Department of the in Findikli in the autumn of 1932 I entered the only institution in Turkey in which architecture was taught. Necati Bey, the then Ministry of Education, having introduced new teachers from Germany and Switzerland, abolished the old form of instruction modelled on the Paris Beaux-Arts and embarked upon a comprehensive programme of reform under the Swiss Professor . We began our studies in the third year of the reform. Prof. Egli was an experienced and broad-minded architect who had studied at the ETH and worked by the side of Prof. Clemens Holzmeister, the architect who had planned the whole Ministry District in Ankara."
