Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's body was reunited with Anıtkabir, which had just been completed, 70 years ago on November 10, 1953. So how did Anıtkabir become the most valuable symbolic place of the Republic of Turkey and its capital Ankara? How were its location, project design and materials to be used in its construction selected? What values does its architecture represent? How does Anıtkabir establish a connection with the past, the Republic and the future? Anıtkabir's Deputy Architectural Author Master Architect Ömer Arda and Master Architect Seda Özen Bilgili interpreted the architectural language of Anıtkabir for BBC Turkish.
