Among works of the period from 1960 to 1970 which are worthy of attention one may cite the Istanbul Vakıflar Hotel ( today the Ceylan Intercontinental, AHE, 1959), the Istanbul Manufacturers' Market (Dogan Tekeli, Sami Sisa, Metin Hepgüler, 1959), the Grand Hotel, Ankara (Marc Saugey, Yüksel Okan, 1960), the METU (ODTÜ ) Campus (Behruz Cinici- Altug Cinici, 1961), SSK Complex ([000035 Sedad H. Eldem ]) 1963), the MSB Tandogan Students' Hostel, Ankara (Şevki Vanlı, Ersen Gömleksizoglu, 1966), and the Turkish History Foundation (Turgut Cansever, Ertur Yener, 1967). During this period the search for a rationalism which united with local requiremnts increased
