The five sections of the mural correlate to the five initial faculties of ITU: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mining Engi- neering, and Architecture. It was com- missioned by ITU’s Rector Ord. Prof. Emin Onat in 1954 and is the prod- uct of a combined effort by the artists Nurullah Berk (1906-1982), Abdiir- rahman Oztoprak (1927-2011), Yasar Yeniceli (1931-2014) and Oktay Dik- men. According to Odekan, this mural represents the aspirations of the twen- tieth-century Republic of Turkey and reflects the excitement of ITU’s role as being the “first leader” (2014). This en- thusiasm continues to be seen in ITU's current vision of becoming “a leading international university through its ex- pertise and creativity in science, tech- nology, and art” (Url- 3). Seat wT Pa. | The monumental mural [Figure 5] in ITU Art Collection is located on the ground floor of the northwest Tower at Taskisla Campus. This fresco is one of the most iconic imagery in the collec- tion since it represents ITU’s role as the country’s one and only technical uni- versity at the time (Odekan, 2014, 112).
