      Dear Sir

      My name is Mustafa Emin Demirkan, architect, Prof.of Architecture, currently giving lectures on Interior Design and Theory of Design at Istanbul Kultur University and at Ticaret University, both in Istanbul, Turkey.

      I would like to take this opportunity and request your permission to use the visual aids contained in this website

      This will allow me to better prepare a booklet I am working on in Turkish language on interior Design and History of Furniture which I intend to prepare as an university publishment.

      I would very much appreciate if you could provide me with a better printable formatted (300dpi) pictures.

      Thank you and with Best Regards
