Our structures representing the architecture, art and ethnography of the Turkish Period constitute an important place among the symbolic values of our rich historical culture. Societies are living elements. As institutions and individuals, we have to protect and promote our cultural assets coming from the depths of history. We need studies carried out with the awareness, belief and persistence of protecting our cultural values, with the principles and sensitivities of certain disciplines. The publication of this work presented is a service to the culture of Muğla, and beyond service, it is an example of loyalty to Muğla. We are happy to add a new one to the many works published on this path. We would like to thank Ms. Tülay Kıntak Kozak for her meticulous work introducing Ula houses, which are examples of the local tradition that have survived and are kept alive today, both with their art history and architecture, and with their visuality, and we wish her continued successful services.
When it comes to works prepared on Ula architecture, we remember Nail Çakırhan with his unforgettable name, personality and art. His introduction of the architecture of Ula houses to the world is beyond all appreciation. In Muğla, with all its institutions, many projects that have been implemented and will be implemented with the aim of keeping cultural assets standing and leaving them to future generations will continue to provide services. Especially, the idealistic approaches and determined stances of our young architects, art historians, archaeologists and young representatives of relevant disciplines to our cultural assets give us hope. Institutional and individual cultural works are a light for the people of Muğla, for those who are as attached to this city as the people of Muğla and ultimately for all of us, a guide to our past and values. Our wish is for many more works and projects to be brought to Muğla. - Amir Çiçek - Governor of Muğla - Presentation Article
