Master Thesis Examination of Architectural Characteristics and Construction Techniques of Two Historic Mosques at Hisarlık and Yiğenli Villages of Tire-Izmir for the Purpose of Preservation(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Marmasan, Önder; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyBelonging to the Late Ottoman Period, the mosques of Hisarlık and Yiğenli villages are the examples of rural architecture in the villages around İzmir. Although damaged severely, they kept their original features since they were not altered much. They were selected as the subject of the thesis for the purpose of a better understanding of the characteristics of Aegean rural architecture. The aim of the thesis is to document, examine their problems at present and propose intervention decisions for their preservations. For this purpose, their architectural and constructional characteristics, existing situations and alterations they have undergone are determined by the measurements, photographical documentation and visual observations which were performed through field surveys. Restitution proposals have been prepared by a comparative study which includes the examination of the historic rural mosques visited in close by villages and other mosques from different parts of Aegean Region through literature search. Intervention decisions which formed the restoration proposals are developed in the light of information from field surveys, literary sources and comparative study. Contemporary principles of restoration implementations based on scientific studies and realities of social and physical environments where these mosques took place have been taken into consideration for interventions. Both mosques are located in the central spots that can be considered as gathering spaces of the inhabitants. By the proposals, both mosques are expected to rejoin the daily life of the villages and while preserving their authentic values.Master Thesis Investigation of Tower-Houses in Montenegro for Their Preservation: Restoration Proposal for Ganiç Family House in Rozaje Town(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe building selected to be studied is the tower house of the Ganić Family. The standing portion, at the edge of a total collapse, is located in Rožaje Town in the eastern part of Montenegro. Besides the analysis of tower houses, an overall analysis of historical houses in Montenegro was also done as a step in the development of housing concept in this region. Case study building was evaluated together with the physical and historical characteristics of the area and the period that these buildings belonged. Information obtained by the survey was used for the description and analytical evaluation of the building in terms of; architectural elements, spatial characteristics, construction techniques, material use, structural failures, material deteriorations and alterations. In order to understand the original state of the building better, other tower houses in the region were also investigated and their characteristics were compared with the characteristics of Ganić House. Together with historical research, the results of comparative analysis, which were obtained by different reliability degrees for the components and elements missing or unknown at present, was utilized for the restitution of the house. The information obtained in the restitution phase was used as the base for the determination of intervention decisions in restoration phase, which became the conclusion of the study. The new function, proposed restoration project, is hoped to be beneficial for the owners and the building itself while providing an active use by the citizens for educational, as well as, recreation purpose.Master Thesis Restoration of a Historic Olive Oil Mill in Dikili(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAlthough many industrial heritage buildings, of which, the availability of the product they produced was lost and they were totally abandoned, the situation is different for olive oil mills which have been discussed as industrial heritage buildings since olive oil has never lost its vital importance. Some of them, which employed traditional extraction techniques, were converted to “continuous system” for faster production by changing their hardware equipment, while others persisted in using traditional techniques. But, many historic olive oil mills were abandoned since they could not compete with the new system. However, the taste obtained by traditional techniques has gained an increasing preference. This trend has attracted public attention not only in the taste of oil, but also in historic olive oil mills to conserve them as industrial heritage. Araser mill, subject of the study, is located in Bademli Village, of Dikili District of İzmir Province, but abandoned following the donation of its hardware to Rahmi Koç Industry Museum in İstanbul in 1999. While reflecting architectural, neoclassical style and socioeconomic features of its period, it witnessed the population exchange in 1922 which was an important historic event. Including architectural measurements, supplemented with photography, determination of structural and material problems documentation of the mill was done by observations during three-week survey period to define its historical, architectural and technological features as the values it possessed. The equipment donated to the museum was documented by a visit to the museum. In light of this information, a restoration proposal, which includes new function and interventions conforming to contemporary conservation principals, is presented.Master Thesis The Examination of Construction Techniques of Muğla Historic Houses(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe aim of the study is to make contribution for better restorations by providing reliable and detailed information about their construction techniques and materials in traditional houses of historic urban site of Muğla. For this aim, the houses damaged and abandoned and therefore easily accessed, have been determined due to that they give way for a thorough examination of construction details which can not be observed when they are in sound conditions since they are covered with rendering materials.In addition to geographic and historic background of Muğla, architectural features of the houses and former efforts for the preservation of historic urban part are also evaluated in the light of previous studies. The examination has been carried out in terms of the details of constructional components such as, foundations, walls, floors, projections and the roofs of the houses. In addition, the properties of masonry materials which form the major portion of houses have also been determined through laboratory analyses.The evaluations, done in the light of survey results and previous studies, proved that the walls enclosed the houses in the north, east and west are built of stone masonry and combined use of infilled wood-frame which is called .hımış,. and stone masonry. It is seen that bağdadi technique is also employed beside hımış and composite systems.It can be deduced that, careful consideration of the topography of the land, the choice of proper construction techniques and materials accordingly yielded in earthquake resistant buildings and a unique historic environment in Muğla.Master Thesis Examination of Dampness Problems of a Historic House(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe study involves the examination of the dampness problems of a historic house, Nebahat Tabak House in Basmane District in zmir. The cause of dampness problems of the house was due to the rain penetration at the ground and first floors since the roof was damaged. In the basement however, dampness was felt but the cause was not so obvious. Therefore, the investigation was concentrated in the basement. Moisture contents and the temperature of the wall surfaces were determined by non-destructive techniques; by electrical conductivity measurements and infrared thermography. The results were evaluated in the light of physical properties, moisture and soluble salt contents of the materials, outdoor and indoor climatic conditions, the layout of the site and architectural features of the building.The results of the study revealed that most of the moisture was concentrated at the lower parts of the walls indicating rising damp. In addition to rising damp the faulty details detected at the intersection line of the terraces of the neighbor buildings, basement windows and the street also produce rain water leaks in addition to insufficient ventilation conditions in the basement.Condensation was not detected during the survey times which were usually noontimes. However, some cool zones having the risk of condensation at mornings and night time were observed.In the light of these findings, some alternative solutions for the faulty details have been proposed.Master Thesis Restoration of a Historic Olivie Oil Mill in Altınoluk(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01.

By considering historical, architectural, cultural, and technological features, technological changes and their reflection on the spaces and features of historic environment in which it is placed, a restoration proposal, including new function and necessary interventions conforming to contemporary conservation principals has been presented as a project for the mill.Master Thesis Investigation of Ottoman Period Fountains in Izmir/Çeşme for Their Preservation(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyConstruction of waterways in Anatolia dates back to the 11th century. Especially from the 16th century, the construction of water engineering structures increased rapidly The most prominent structures are seen in İstanbul which was the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Fountains being the final portion of these huge works embellished the towns and supplied inhabitants with clean and running potable water, which is important in Islam. In this respect, the town of Çeşme had plenty of fountains in the past likely took its name from the fountain called çeşme in Turkish. However, the number of existing fountains does not reflect the richness in the past. The study aimed at an intensive inventory for the existing historic fountains. Those existing, but unknown, and those missing already but known by their names and approximate locations were deciphered. In addition to the detailed documentation, the evaluation of the alterations that the fountains have undergone for years, a guideline for their preservation are also presented. The fountains that are studied, but not listed in the architectural heritage list of Çeşme are also proposed to be listed.Master Thesis Investigation of the Preservation Problems of the Mescid and Türbe of Akşebe Sultan in Alanya(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe monument selected to be studied is a Seljuk building composed of a masjid and a türbeh located in the inner fortress of Alanya which was an important settlement during Anatolian Seljuk Period. The aim of the study is the documentation of the building by examining its architectural characteristics and construction techniques, to reveal its missing or altered parts and elements, to determine its structural and material problems occurred by the interventions carried out in the past and to propose solutions to sustain it with its original properties as much as possible. For this purpose, existing conditions, alterations, construction techniques and materials that form the building were determined by measured drawings and observations through fieldwork. For the restitution scheme, other masjids and turbehs of the same period have been evaluated in the light of the information obtained from the literature and archival research. Comparison of Akşebe Sultan with the other Anatolian Seljuk masjids has also been done for the missing and altered parts of the building for a reliable restitution scheme. The building was subjected to some interventions in the past and lost many of its original features. Due to the difficulties in finding reliable information about previous interventions, a restitution-based restoration proposal could not be proposed. Instead, long term studies and minimum interventions are proposed to prolong its life and to save original properties of the monument.
