La realización de estudios de investigación sobre su vida y sus obras ha estado en la agenda desde 2013, cuando la Asociación trasladó su oficina principal al bloque lecorbusiano de viviendas que Ersin había diseñado. En abril de 2017, su esposa donó sus documentos profesionales y personales a la Asociación. Después de que ella falleció, sus familiares proporcionaron material adicional de archivo en enero de 2018. Los documentos y proyectos recogidos a través de las donaciones, tomados en conjunto, requirieron rediseñar los estudios previstos en 2013. A partir de ello, se discute la construcción del archivo privado de un arquitecto en el contexto de la historiografía arquitectónica.  Facultad de Arquitectura, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México 2020-12-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Investigación application/pdf application/xml https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/77622 10.22201/fa.14058901p.2020.45.77622 Bitacora Arquitectura; No. 45 (2020): Architectural Archives; 28-43 Bitácora Arquitectura; Núm. 45 (2020): Archivos de Arquitectura; 28-43 2594-0856 1405-8901 10.22201/fa.14058901p.2020.45 eng spa https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/77622/68786 https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/77622/68925 Derechos de autor 2020 Bitácora Arquitectura
