    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) İpekoğlu, Başak; İpekoğlu, Başak; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Various conservation implementations are carried out in archaeological sites reflecting the settlement characteristics and values of the area where they are located. It is seen that conservation implementations are commonly carried out in theatres, temples, fountains, baths, churches and bouleuteria. Bouleuteria are council buildings generally planned close to the theatre and in connection with the agora. These structures with a public function, where public assembly convened, have a square or semi-circular plan, and are covered. Bouleuteria bear importance as they were frequently used during the Greek and Hellenistic periods. During the Roman period, the need for this type of structure faded away and the existing bouleuteria were utilised as odeions. Some of the bouleuteria are used today for open-air gatherings, and for this reason conservation implementations are carried out. In this study, the architectural features of the Bouleuteria of Iasos, Patara, Ephesus, and Kibyra and the impacts of the conservation implementations were examined. The effects of implementations changed depending on whether the scale of the implementation was partial or comprehensive. The materials and techniques used also varied according to their compatibility with the authentic condition. As a result of the evaluation criteria, it has been determined that conservation of original values at the structure scale can be achieved by making plans depending on the condition of the original remains.

    Investigation of the Indoor Microclimate of Historic Agios Voukolos (aziz Vukolos) Church in İzmir To Determine and Imporve Thermal Comfort Conditions
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) İpekoğlu, Başak; İpekoğlu, Başak; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The conservation of the historical building by improving the thermal comfort conditions contributes to the reuse of the buildings. Besides thermal improvement, the authentic values of the historical building should be taken into consideration. The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of indoor microclimate characteristics of historic Agios Voukolos Church on the occupants and the wall paintings of the building, and to bring improvement suggestions that consider the values of the historical church by evaluating the thermal comfort conditions. The method of the study consists of on-site examination, on-site measurements of microclimate parameters, calculations and surveys. Air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity and mean radiant temperature measurements were conducted. In order to determine thermal comfort level, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV)–Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) method developed by Fanger (1967, 1970) was used and survey studies were carried out during activities in winter. The threshold values specified in the ISO 7730:2005 and EN 16798-1:2019 standards were taken into account. According to the calculations, it was understood that the occupants felt warm in July and August, and cold in November through March. Survey study conducted in winter also confirmed that occupants are not satisfied with thermal comfort conditions. Additionally, respective UNI 10829:1999 standard and the decree published by the Italian Ministry of Culture in 2001 were used to determine the effect of indoor microclimate on wall paintings and ornaments. As a result, secondary glazing system, nighttime ventilation and radiant heaters were suggested for thermal improvement.

    When developing restoration decisions for conservation of historic houses, determination of daylight performance of the spaces is important for new usage proposals. Among the rooms located around sofa in Anatolian historical houses, main room is the most spectacular space. It should have sufficient and homogeneously distributed daylight in restored houses. This study aims to examine daylight performance of main room and preserve original lighting features in restoration and re-functioning decisions. For this purpose, Kaçıklar, Zabunlar, Kestaneciler and Zühtü Bey Houses, were selected as examples for the research. Daylight performance measurements were taken in main rooms in all seasons, in the morning, at noon, in late afternoon using an illuminance meter. As a result of the study, it was determined that illumination was not sufficient for all seasons in unrestored Kaçıklar House, sufficient for all seasons in unrestored Zabunlar House, in restored Kestaneciler House, also sufficient in restored Zühtü Bey House in autumn whereas insufficient in other seasons. In Kaçıklar House, opening the window that was closed, cleaning the paint on top windows, selecting a light-coloured wall finish material will positively affect lighting values. In restored Zühtü Bey House, the window, converted into a built-in cupboard, and the closed top window to be restored to original state and cleaning of improper paint on the top windows on the south wall will affect the lighting level positively. This study is important in terms of determining specific daylight illumination properties of historical houses and underlines the improvement of repair and conservation decisions.

    Conservation Proposals for Historic Mithatpaşa Military Hospital Izmir
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Hayretdağ, Hülya; İpekoğlu, Başak; İpekoğlu, Başak; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Modernization movements have led to significant changes particularly in the military field as well as administrative, educational and health fields in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. The first studies in the modernization process became effective in the formation of military architecture by changing the military organization and army order. In the 19th century, military structures such as barracks, hospitals and schools were built to meet the needs of the new regular army. Therefore, essential changes in the field of health during the modernization process were first applied in the military field. Historic Mithatpaşa Military Hospital is a rare example of the Neoclassical architectural features of the Ottoman military health buildings constructed outside of İstanbul during the modernization process. It was built on Mithatpaşa Street in 1891 as Hamidiye Military Hospital to meet the health services of Asakir-i Mansure Barracks, known as Sarı Kışla, which was built during the modernization process in İzmir. The building, which continued to serve health service until moving to its new location on İnönü Street in 1971, was used for various military services until 1988. Then, it was used as a warehouse for many years and lack of maintenance caused the building to be dilapidated. The building, which was transferred to İzmir Katip Çelebi University in 2012 and a restoration project was prepared, is currently under construction. The historic building has preserved most of its original planning features with large patient wards and its Neoclassical facade features. The most significant issues identified in the structure are the unqualified additions made over time and the removal of the original elements. The aim of this study is examining the architectural features of the building, determining the values and developing the conservation proposals. The method of the study is field study, archive and literature research. Within the scope of the study, it was proposed to use the building, which was built as a hospital and is currently used by university, as a Medical Simulation Center, after the restoration process. The proposed function will contribute to the preservation of the historic Mithatpaşa Military Hospital as a cultural heritage.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Camuz, Derya; İpekoğlu, Başak; İpekoğlu, Başak; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Kuseyri Soap Factory is one of the rare soap factory buildings constructed in the 19th century in Antakya, that has survived until today. The building is a notable historic industrial building as a part of industrial heritage throughout the city. It consists of circular olive oil wells buried beneath the ground of wide galleries, stone cauldrons located below the ground, fireplace room below the cauldrons on the basement floor; spreading and drying areas that have vertical wooden screens on the first floor. The aim of this study is to analyze the values and problems of the building and develop a conservation project. The methodology of the study includes the field survey, archive and literature research and architectural examination of the other soap factories in Turkey and surrounding countries. As a result of these studies, it was determined that the building has historical, cultural, architectural and economic values that should be conserved. The problems of the building are improper additions and the use of incompatible materials. The original stone masonry walls were renewed on the ground floor of the northern facade, the original wooden screen was converted into brick and cinder block walls. The original stone masonry spaces that opened to the courtyard were destroyed and unqualified brick masonry shops were constructed. The intervention decisions were developed to conserve the building as an industrial heritage. Kuseyri Soap Factory will be refunctioned as a soap museum and handicraft center where the traditional production will be introduced and traditional handicrafts of Antakya will be manufactured. It was proposed to emphasize the original architectural characteristics on the courtyard and street facades. The unqualified section will be removed and to allow perception of the building from the street the shops will be arranged on the east of the building. The proposed functional, structural and physical interventions will contribute to the conservation of Kuseyri Soap Factory as an industrial heritage.
