    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Kanmaz, Mehmet Buğra; İpekoğlu, Başak; İpekoğlu, Başak; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Anaia Church, which is thought to have been in use from the Early Byzantine Period to the Late Byzantine Period, is located in Kadıkalesi, Kuşadası. Kadıkalesi is a Byzantine Period fortification that it is thought to be built to protect harbour of Anaia ancient city, which was a bishopric throughout the Byzantine Period. Today, the three aisled basilical planned church is in state of ruin and excavations are on going in the area. The building reflects architectural planning, construction technique and architectural element features from the 5th century to the 14th century, was determined as the subject of this thesis to document and develop a conservation proposal. The study began with field survey and the building was documented with drawings and photographs. Planning, constrcution technique, architectural elements and the conservation problems of the building were evaluated and finally a conservation approach was developed in accordance with the data obtained throughout the study. In the analyses, it was seen that Anaia church shows parallel planning evolution that represents the features from the Early Byzantine Period to the Late Byzantine Period. The centrally located ambo in the nave and synthronon in the apse reflect the Early Byzantine Period features. The filling walls and toppled columns revealed in the naos were evaluated as physical effects and measures of earthquakes. Stepped pilasters in the northern and southern façade walls and recessed brick technique in the northern façade wall are the features of construction technique. The majority of the observed problems in the building are related with exposure to the atmospheric conditions since the roof of the church has not survived to present. Furthermore, it was observed that the temprorary protective shelter at the east and west end of the church, is inadequate. As a result, to conserve the Anaia Church as a cultural asset, drainage in the area, protective shelter, supporting of the arches and vaults, consolidation of the walls, conservation of the floor coverings and removal of humidity from the substructure were proposed.

    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 Technology
    Belonging 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.

    Air Pollution Effects on the Façade of the Botter Apartment in İstanbul
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Parlak, Birsen; Böke, Hasan; Böke, Hasan; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Air pollution showed a large increase with the rapid development of industry in the middle of the 18th century. Air pollution has been affecting cultural heritage along with human health. Limestone is one of the most affected building materials from the air pollution. Carbon, sulphure and nitrogen gases are the main components which are affective in the deterioration of limestone and their rate increased with air pollution. Sulphure dioxide (SO2) reacts with the calcite crystals (CaCO3) that are the main structure of limestone and leads to the formation of gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O). In this study, the formation of gypsum on limestone was investigated on the façade of the Botter Apartment within the restoration and conservation studies. For this purpose physical, mineralogical and chemical compositions of weathered limestone were determined by XRD, SEM-EDS, FT-IR and TGA analyses. The weathering forms caused by air pollution were documented with drawing (mapping) and photographs of front façade of Botter Apartment.The results of the study indicated that gypsum formation on limestone surfaces is mainly originated from wet and dry deposition process of sulphur dioxide. Condensation may also play an important role in gypsum formation on such sheltered surfaces in addition to dry deposition. On sheltered surfaces of limestone, due to the dry deposition of gypsum formation proceeds as black crust formation. The gypsum formation has not restricted on the surface of limestone. Deeper penetration and absorption of sulphure dioxide are observed in limestone because of their more porous structure. In Istanbul average daily temperature is low and average relative humidity and sulphure dioxide concentrations are high in winter time. The results of this study indicated that İstanbul atmosphere, with its coinciding high relative humidity and high sulphure dioxide concentrations in winter have led to gypsum formation on limestone. This situation has been encountered in all calcareous stones used in the construction of the buildings.

    Annexes and Extensions in Historical Buildings: an Ideological Perspective
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) İlter, Buket; Çıkış, Şeniz; Çıkış, Şeniz; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The art of designing additions carries with it a host of unique challenges. Especially, in the case of annexes and extensions in historical buildings, ideology can be an important factor in shaping the design of the addition. Ideology.s close relation with the concept of identity also makes it a factor in shaping additions in historic buildings. However, studies about the subject generally address themselves to the examination of the functional necessities, and aesthetic concerns. Additions in historic buildings are mostly evaluated within the scope of conservation, and with their harmony to the historical context. This study attempts to analyse the design of additions in historical buildings from a different perspective, leaving aside the principles conservation and discussions of contextualism. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the reflections of ideological and social changes in the physical environment, and to examine the additions in historic buildings from that point of view. Within the scope of this thesis additions in historical buildings are investigated with special emphasis given to the concept of ideology. The interaction between ideology and architecture is explained through an examination of international and local samples. Also, the concept of conservation and historic building is discussed in relation to ideology. Basic reasons for building new architecture in historic settings are examined. Finally, classifications of addition buildings according to their location design approaches, and combined expressions are made.

    Documentation of the Lower Bath in Metropolis, Torbalı, Izmir for the Assessment of Heritage Characteristics
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2013) Büyükkılıç, Suna; Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Turan, Mine; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The study evaluates the excavation results of the Lower Bath and Palaestra in the archaeological site of Metropolis, Torbalı, İzmir with an eye on its original qualities and alterations. In fact, the understanding of the alterations will enable one to take conscious decisions for the preservation of the bath ruins. First, the existing scaled drawings of the Bath ruins were gathered and evaluated. Then, the historical background of the Roman Bath buildings was investigated. Rectified image mosaics based on photogrammetric survey are combined with plan, sections and elevations based on tachometric survey. In addition, a 3D model of the present state of the building was produced based on photogrammetric and tachometric survey. The 2D representations were used for mapping the original elements and the altered ones. The obtained data is supported with historical research and comparative study of similar buildings. The end results are presented in large appended tables. In turn, the heritage characteristics of the Lower Bath ("Aşağı Hamam" or "Han Yıkığı) in Metropolis, Yeniköy, Torbalı, İzmir is documented in detail. The Lower Bath has an asymmetrical plan organisation. It is middle in scale (812 m2). It is a typical example of the Roman Baths dated to between 2nd and 4th century. Its original features were sustained onwards. However perception of its third dimension has been demolished. It is important to plan a documentation study systematically as parallel to the excavation studies and to develop conservation decisions.
