Res. Asst. Başak Lâle's comments on the feedback she received on her study are as follows:

"It is very valuable for me not only to conduct a spatial analysis in the field of the history of architecture and interior architecture, which I enjoy working in but also to address the subject in the sociocultural dimension and to analyze all these from a point that has not been addressed in the literature. The supportive and guiding comments of my esteemed professors within the scope of the committee motivated me a lot. I present my respects to each of them and thank them for their suggestions."
