Cengiz Bektaş (26 November 1934 – 20 March 2020)[1] was a Turkish architect, engineer, poet and writer for Evrensel newspaper.

He attended Istanbul State Academy of the Fine Arts, and ultimately graduated in 1959 in Architecture while attending the Technical University of Munich.

Bektaş spent his time between the years of '59 to '62 working as a freelance architect in Munich.

In 1962, however, he was requested by Middle East Technical University in Ankara to work as a teacher, which he accepted.

Since 1963, Bektaş has been working at his own workplace and has also been giving lectures at universities.
