One of the most important areas that were effective in ensuring national unity in the Early Republican Period was architectural studies. The architectural formations that gained weight between 1923 and 1930 were built in the style of the First National Architecture Movement. It is known that foreign architects as well as Turkish architects made significant contributions to the formation of a national architectural consciousness. Mukbil Kemal Taş, who lived in the same period with architects Kemalettin Bey, Vedat Tek and Arif Hikmet Bey, carried out important projects especially in the field of educational buildings within public buildings. These projects were not limited to the capital, but were also reflected in provinces, districts and villages.
In the early years of the Republic, ibtidai schools were established in many parts of Anatolia. The political attitude of the locals in Senirkent also influenced the school's name Turan in the following years. Similar names were used in many parts of Anatolia, and the name Turan Primary School is still used today in Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, İzmir and Van.
As in 1928, Turan Primary School was started to be built, and there is a great similarity in the construction process as well as in the plan of the building with the first schools in many cities of Anatolia. In this study, the interpretation of the Turan Primary School in Isparta-Senirkent, designed by Mukbil Kemal Taş, one of the architects of the Republican Period and a member of Architect Kemalettin's team, in the scale of National Architecture and especially how the effects of Architect Kemalettin on Mukbil Kemal Taş are reflected in the architecture will be discussed.
