Reference excerpt

The Statue of Alex (Turkish: Alex Heykeli) is a statue of the Brazilian former footballer Alexsandro de Souza situated in front of the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. It was unveiled in 2012.

Background Alexsandro de Souza (born 1977), commonly known as Alex, played for the Turkish Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe in Istanbul between 2004–2012 with the shirt number 10, which was entrusted to him by Lefter Küçükandonyadis, former Fenerbahçe footballer in the years 1947–1951 and 1953–1964, and captained the team from 2007 to 2012.

History Organized and financed by supporter groups of the football club, a full-length sculpture depicting him was installed at Yoğurtçu Park close to Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, the home ground of the football team, in Kadıköy district of Istanbul, Turkey. After the completion of the statue, the opening ceremony was postponed due to the ongoing court case against the club president and the members of the board of directors. On 15 September 2012, the statue was unveiled in a ceremony attended by Alex and his family, high officials of the club and supporters. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey, his fans outfitted the statue with a face mask and gloves to raise awareness about protections from COVID-19.

Relocation In February 2024, it was announced that the management of Fenerbahçe decided the relocation of the statue of Alex along with the statue of Lefter Küçükandonyadis and statue of Can Bartu from their original place at the Yoğurtçu Park to the area in front of the stadium, where a bust of Atatürk stands, and a statue of Eda Erdem, the long-year player and captain of the Fenerbahçe Women's Volleyball, was planned to be unveiled on 8 March, the International Women's Day. In April 2024, the statueof Alex was removed from its original place, and put into storage.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Alex

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Statue of Alex claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Statue of Alex before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Statue of Alex ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Statue of Alex

In research: Statue of Alex appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Statue of Alex in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Statue of Alex is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 establishments in Turkey, 2012 sculptures, Bronze sculptures in Turkey, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Alex outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
