Özet:

It is known that the Ottoman Empire was a state that gave importance to art and artists, although it differed from period to period. Since its establishment, the state has constantly updated its point of view in the field of architecture, as in every field. Towards the end of the 19th century, it was possible for civil buildings to develop by being influenced by the transformation in the architectural field. Among the architects of the period, those who were at the forefront and held the numerical superiority were generally non-Muslim citizens. Ottoman citizens of Turkish origin, on the other hand, were quite reluctant to take part in the architectural field. However, since the beginning of the 20th century, Ottoman citizens of Turkish origin also began to come to the fore in the field of architecture. Architect Vedat Tek emerged as one of the leading architects of the relevant period, pioneered his period and his environment, and his being an Ottoman citizen of Turkish origin, along with the subjectivity of his style, made him have a special place in Turkish architectural history.
