Some corrections about Bruno Taut
Dear DVD R W,

Thank you for the 'Welcome' message.

I made some corrections in the Bruno Taut entry. When he was invited to Turkey in 1936, he was offered a teaching position not in Istanbul Technical University, but in State Academy of Fine Arts (Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi), alongside Ernst Egli and Robert Vorhölzer. The German speaking professors who taught in the former were Paul Bonatz, Clemens Holzmeister and Gustav Oelsner. Rudolf Belling, who was a sculptor, first taught in the academy, then transferred to the ITU.

In early and mid thirties many prominent German academics and artists who had to leave the Third Reich because of their racial backgrounds or political convictions were invited and warmly welcomed by the young Turkish republic, believing that their joining Turkish universities would immensely contribute to the academic development of these institutions. This proved true.

Besides teaching, Bruno Taut was commissioned by the Turkish Ministry of Education to design a number of educational institutions. I quoted in my edit some significant examples. His last design in 1938, however, was the catafalque for Ataturk's funeral in Istanbul. He unexpectedly died a few months after this event and was buried in Edirnekapı National Cemetery as the first and the only Christian. This also indicates that how much he was loved and admired in Turkey.
