Narrating the story of these different architectural constructions - the bedroom in Dolmabah e Palace, Istanbul, where he died; a temporary catafalque in this same palace; his funeral stage in Turkey's new capital Ankara; a temporary tomb in the Ankara Ethnographic Museum; and his permanent and monumental mausoleum in Ankara, known in Turkish as 'Anitkabir' (Memorial Tomb) - this book also describes and interprets the movement of Atat 1\/4rk's body through the cities of Istanbul and Ankara and also the nation of Turkey to reach these destinations. It examines how each one of these locations - accidental, designed, temporary, permanent - has contributed in its own way to the construction of a Turkish national memory about Atat 1\/4rk. Lastly, the two permanent constructions - the Dolmabah e Palace bedroom and Anitkabir - have changed in many ways since their first appearance in order to maintain this national memory. These changes are exposed to reveal a dynamic, rather than dull, impression of funerary architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45235352436887,"sku":"9781409429777","price":14111.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781409429777.webp?v=1769209426","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beyond-anitkabir-the-funerary-architecture-of-ataturk-9781409429777","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
